Extension summary

Ad Replacer hunts down those misleading ’sponsored' boxes cluttering up your favorite websites, sending you where you DON'T want to go, and replaces them with the latest breaking news stories and headlines, hand-curated by real people!

Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me 100,000 times, every time I’m trying to read freaking Mashable, shame on YOU! Ad Replacer goes right after all those sneaky headlines hiding in the corners and columns of your favorite blogs and news sources, taunting you with real-sounding medical, political and entertainment news only to drop you into a spammy clickbait nightmare. (Also the name of my favorite Rob Zombie film!)

After you install it, you’ll never even accidentally scan those nefarious, questionable, even offensive links again! They’ll all be magically, seamlessly replaced with ACTUAL photos and headlines, pointing you exclusively to the trusted sources you want to read, browse and bookmark.

Imagine it! Getting rid of content purposefully put there to trick you and steal your clicks, and replacing it with content you’ll actually want to read: Breaking news stories you’ll find out about before anyone else. Ad Replacer’s editorial team is online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, hunting down and curating only the most fascinating, up-to-date news and curating it to keep you super-informed.

Unless, you know, you’d prefer to read about fraudulent herbal supplements and purely theoretical celebrity sex tapes. It’s your call. No, go ahead, think about it. We’ll wait...

Still sees a lot of Taboola ads.

Tired of seeing same replacement mastectomy article two days in a row. Also if I'm on a sports site, I want to see a beer ad ! Agree with Crates, "will be a lot better if the content offered is germane to the article one is reading."

I found this after having a similar idea on my own. I`d like it to load pictures of outdoor nature or funny animal images. Love it!
