- (2025-06-11) Arend A: awesome
- (2025-06-11) Josh Curtner: A very simple extension that works exactly as you would expect. I did a search for "Beatbot" and the first three results were sponsored. I installed the extension, ensured it was toggled on, and refreshed the Google search page. None of the sponsored results were shown. 5/5.

- (2024-11-21) Charanjeet Singh: Thank you so much..! The sponsored ads are such a time waster, glad that this extension exists.
- (2024-11-03) yaboii yadudee: I hit my breaking point with sponsored sites once I had to click through two pages of results to get to what I was actually looking for, so this extension is such a relief. As of now it's working for me.
- (2024-11-02) John Davis: What a relief! I hate to see those stupid 'sponsored' sites that i click on by accident and they never load!!! Why is google even doing this stupid stuff??? Install this and see only those results that work!
- (2024-10-23) Creed Reaper: So far so good. Hate and Tired of multiple Google sponsored ads full page before you see your results. Added this extension and poof they disappear. Let's hope it stays this way!
- (2024-10-23) Jens Brey: Works as expected.
- (2024-08-10) Casey Lewis: Doesn't work.
- (2024-08-01) Scott Ritter: This is a great addition to pi-hole as the sponsored links are dead links in this environment anyway. It's great to be able to read the code to ensure it's safety as well.
- (2024-07-25) Salem Savage: does what it claims.... this is surprising for a chrome extension.
- (2024-07-23) Stefan Harrington-Palmer: no hassle to set it up, and it just works, top block of sponsored stuff is gone.
- (2024-07-01) Xavier Johnson: Doesn't work.
