Extension summary
With the changes Google have made to how ads appear in search results, it's becoming increasingly difficult to tell what are ads and what are organic results.
This extension reverts some of this behaviour, by highlighting ads in the green colour that Google used up to the start of 2020.
This way, you can still see ads, but they're much easier to differentiate from organic results.
User reviews
It doesn't work
A great way to get back the old design of Google search results, before they embraced the dark pattern of making paid results look like organic ones.
