Description from store
AdDetector spots articles with corporate sponsors.
It puts a big banner on top of any article that may appear unbiased at first glance, but is actually paid for by an advertiser. The goal of this extension to increase corporate transparency for internet users.
===
"Native advertising" is a method of advertising that presents ads as journalism or unbiased articles.
This technique is used by publications like the New York Times, The Atlantic, Gawker, Buzzfeed, and others. Stories may be marked as sponsored, but disclaimers are subtle because the whole point is that users don't know it's an ad.

This extension requires permission to run on pages you visit, but your data is never used, stored, or transmitted. For those who wish to contribute or audit, AdDetector is open source: http://github.com/typpo/ad-detector

- (2017-09-05) Enrico: Seems like a good ideia, but it's not working for me. I entered in those articles in the pictures to test it out and nothing changed. No banner.
- (2016-05-24) Simon Stackmann: great idea, like South park's Jimmy in its amazing parody of sponsored content.
- (2016-04-17) max akimov (Maxилач): Показывает время прибывания продавца на площадке и количество жалоб на него. В остальном ничего особенного. Через несколько месяцев пользования, переходя по страницам Алиэкспресс, антивирус стал уведомлять об угрозе и перестали отображаться отзывы пользователей о заказах(((
- (2016-02-22) Larry Goltry: Works great! A big help to reveal hidden agenda's. I always add this one to Chrome.
- (2014-10-20) chad tunis: works as promised. very useful to know when the author of an article is being paid/influenced to write an article.
- (2014-08-21) Andrew Nichols: Works well would be great if when the bar is clicked or right clicked it would show you why it states it is paid for by a certain sponsor. Some of the articles it states are paid for by a company, but I can't find the company mentioned anywhere.

nao estou conseguindo baixar musicas por o mp3skull - (2020-01-15, v:0.0.19) Mark van der Waarde: Unchecked runtime.lastError: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist
FWIW: This extension seems to cause a 'Unchecked runtime.lastError: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist.' error in the console (Chrome 79.0.3945.117 - 64bit on Win 10). After disabling AdDetector the error message disappeared. - (2017-10-31, v:0.0.19) Dave M: Is this still working
I have a similar issue and have not noticed anything on known sponsored content. Is this extension still supported in anyway. The concept is really great and I would love an update to ensure it keeps working. Am happy to donate to the cause - (2015-12-07, v:0.0.19) Kirill Birger: Doesn't work
After a few weeks, I haven't noticed a single page that it detected as sponsored content. So I found the buzzfeed article from your webpage, and I went to it. Still nothing.
