It looks like there is an 'enable toxic mode' setting that DOES switch off the auto-updating blocklist. The LLM that wrote this post claimed that there is no way to turn it off.

from src/lib/policies/system.ts:

    
export async function updateSystemFilterPolicy() {  
    if (SBDisabled && get(userSettings).enableToxicMode) {  
        SYSTEM_POLICY.set(BLANK_SYSTEM_FILTER_POLICY)  
        return  
    }  
   // auto-update of blocklist continues below  
  
  

The original post was written using AI so it's going to have a lot of inaccuracies like that.

Overall though, having gone through the code myself, the LLM is in the right ballpark. The most friendly evaluation I can give is that this does seem poorly documented, too opaque and overly prescriptive. And needlessly encrypting the payload looks very shifty.
