Features & Capabilities

A tool to help you understand how you are targeted by advertisers on Facebook What kind of ads do I receive in Facebook? What kind of advertisers target me? What attributes do advertisers use to target me? What attributes has Facebook inferred about me? Is my targeting unique?

If you seek answers to the previous questions, then AdAnalyst is for you!

AdAnalyst is a browser addon that increases transparency in the Facebook Advertising ecosystem. It analyzes the ads you receive in Facebook and shows you what attributes Facebook has inferred about you, what attributes advertisers use to target you, and much much more.

It works silently in the background while you are browsing Facebook without any overhead to your browsing experience.

Warning! If you are using some ad blocker like AdBlock Plus, you need to disable it on Facebook in order to get the most out of AdAnalyst. Also, you need to set your language in Facebook to English (US) or French (France). Currently, we do not support other languages.

Is AdAnalyst Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

AdAnalyst requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

AdAnalyst is very likely to contain malware and should not be trusted. Avoid installing.
