Summary

Removes annoy interstitials from certain sites. This is very different from AdBlock.

Q: What's an interstitial?

You know when you click a link for a news site and you get redirected to a 'welcome' page with ads? That's an interstitial and this Chrome Extension will bypass that annoying redirect.

Q: What sites are bypassed?

forbes.com.

Q: Why not more?

Each interstitial must by bypassed manually. This involves looking at their code and bypassing it. AdBlock simply blocks the site from loading. Here we need a custom approach for each site.

User reviews
I use these scripting engines that all need a key to run, and in order to get that key you have to go through like 10 url shrinkers with 18+ ads on them. I cannot tell you how much time this saved me, I really appreciate this, I had absolutely no problems with this. Thanks you so much.
