en | The RevContent ads were getting worse and worse. There were tons of ads for marijuana which I don't like but could ignore. But then the ads became nasty. Verging on pornography. I have kids in my house and do NOT want them seeing these images on my monitor, nor do I want my husband seeing the images. Porn is everywhere as it is; The last thing I want to do is invite that toxic garbage into my home. Anyway, this works! I can visit my favorite news blog without cringing. Edit: Nope. Doesn't work after all. It's RevContent that I'm getting bombarded with and the ads are DIRTY. I do not want this in my home. It's Gateway Pundit that I'm seeing the ads on. I have an adblock that I can use but then it blocks the X (Twitter) posts embedded in the articles. If you could get this working I will love you to death. |

This works on my local news site. Clickbait headlines were testing my will to live, but now I am liberated. Thank you. | |

Works for some sites, but not others. I assume from the reviews this will be a growing list. Currently does not block clickbait on https://www.reuters.com/ (click bait by dianomi) | |

It blocks all clickbait links and ads as far as I've seen. It has a big problem, though: it takes a few seconds to kick in after loading a page, so the page in question will have the annoying ads for two or three seconds before they disappear and as you know: many of those ads are nsfw or just downright offensive and repulsive, so after loading a page, if I´m in a public place, I open another tab just for a few seconds waiting for the extension to react. I wish there was a way in which it loaded a page without the ads from the get-go. | |

Works on some sites and really well if it works. Be aware that this uses Google Analytics to track basically every page you visit while this extension is active. | |
