(Update: v3.3.4 hopefully addresses the character issue you're seeing - let me know!)
Thanks again for the detailed review! You've got a lot to unpack here, so let's dig in. I've been looking at this off and on but I'm finally able to respond with at least some notes.
Recognition of naughty GIFs: yes, this is an area for improvement. I reviewed the page listed and how the addon was scanning. There might be some smaller secondary issues with the GIF animation frames as the frames are quite heavily "incremental", but the primary issue I saw was just that the content was scanned as expected but not flagged. Unfortunately, this isn't just a problem here, dealing with scanning animation is I believe a much harder problem in general academically. I've entered an issue here (https://github.com/wingman-jr-addon/model/issues/6) but sadly I don't have a quick fix on the way for you.
Video scanning: So it sounds like this is working more or less as designed- there would only be a small red V in the plugin area for the block; however, the experience just isn't very good.
Two potential usability ideas: 1) Add some sort of a setting to only scan up to a certain amount of video and then assume the rest is good. The truth is that video sees a lot of images even at the lower sampling rate and the chances of some section erroneously getting flagged is high, especially with the model not being trained on video. 2) Add better notification about what happened. Users should be able to understand that the video was blocked. I try to do this to a certain extent but unfortunately it's not possible (?) to insert the Wingman Jr block logo in the video. Maybe this could use another pass.
Let me know if either of these sound helpful. Tracking here: https://github.com/wingman-jr-addon/wingman_jr/issues/188
Cloudflare: unfortunately, I'm already caching the DNS results from Cloudflare (at least within the lifetime of the addon running), so the obvious improvement is already done.
Special characters: your feedback with the exact webpage is helpful! I'm not quite sure how to fix it yet, but I can reproduce the issue rather than just guessing, and I have an idea of what I can try. Tracking here: https://github.com/wingman-jr-addon/wingman_jr/issues/186
Thanks for the feedback, and I hope the addon works well for you.
