[POLL] Do you care about auto-skipping (blacklist, gender filter, country search, etc)?

In the past, we offered many automation features that relied on auto-skipping, such as blacklist, gender filter, skipping the wrong country, searching for specific locations, and more.

Nowadays, we can no longer run around sites clicking buttons, as automated clicks are easily detectable and maintaining a low profile has become a priority. We have also decided to focus on universal functionality rather than building any site-specific features.

A possible workaround for Windows is using AutoHotkey—external open-source automation software that can receive commands from the extension to perform a skip when it is required. You'll need to install AutoHotkey and a script (which we will maintain) and manually tell the program where to click on your chat site to execute the command.

The question is: do you even care about this functionality?

The downside is that the whole process isn’t very intuitive, adds complexity and won’t be as fast as native integration. However, if you really care, setting it up won’t be hard—just download AHK and the script, and then configure the software to skip appropriately.

This thing will be optional and not required for the main functionality, but it can fix the core issue of missing automation capabilities. So if a new WebRTC connection includes a blacklisted IP address, the autoskip sequence will be initiated, and so on.

Not sure about the gender filter—it will depend on the video recording feature, specifically on whether Videochat Extension can learn how to capture the window or tab, rather than any site-specific elements. The idea is the same, FaceAPI locally predicts whether the interlocutor is a man or a woman and then skips according to the specified settings (and adds to the blacklist if needed). Currently, there is no proof-of-concept, and distinguishing you from the interlocutor is not a trivial task. Also, it won't be reliable, but it was never reliable in the first place.

What do you think? It won’t happen at all unless there’s enough interest.

There are also weeks/months of other work that needs to be done before this can be worked on.
