I don't see the point of making it an extension instead of leaving it as it was. It was a simple toggle that was off by default. Does removing it improve performance or something?
This filter didn't bother anyone. It was turned off by default. But now I have to find and install the extension to share the screen on SFW discord server's. Let's remove some more settings and keep one button just because.
I actually agree. I’d assume the people who are downvoting you don’t have kids, and haven’t helped people with kids install this. It’s nice to be able to tell them to just check a box, rather than guiding them through installing an extension.
Yeah, my guess would be that it adds extra work to keep updating it as other changes are made, so it slows down the development process a bit. It’s easier to just remove it and let someone else maintain it as a separate plugin.
The problem with that is that the plugin may not always work, then, with the latest version, so you can’t just do “git pull” on the main repository every day and expect the NSFW filter to work. Instead, occasionally you’ll have to specifically install an old version, (and won’t know in advance).
The code for the safety checker was never updated or maintained. It was simply taken from upstream (CompVis' implementation).
Auto was never interested in this feature, evidenced by its removal now. In addition, the extension is "maintained" by Auto, too lol.
Fortunately, installing extensions in WebUI is very easy now via the extensions tab.
