## Description

**Ad Detector & Ad Blocker** helps you find which apps generate intrusive out-of-app popups and manage them for a cleaner Android experience. Use the Popup Ad Detector to pinpoint the source of intrusive ads, the Smart Ad Blocker to limit popups and video ads, and the Notification Spam Scanner to discover which apps flood your notification bar.

The Hidden App Scanner detects apps that hide on your device and may deliver ads, so you can choose to remove suspicious software. To power these features the extension uses accessibility and package-query permissions (BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE and QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES) only to detect ad sources and manage notifications, giving you more control and fewer interruptions.
