Extension summary

Tired of sponsored content on websites tricking you into navigating to unwanted pages across often suspicious and advertisement filled websites? Well no more!

This extension will remove all "Around the web", "Sponsored", and "Featured" content from websites that redirect you to another web site. Any links internal to the site you are currently viewing are left in tact, only the links to external sites are removed.

The extension is still new so please note any bugs you find. If there are any websites where the "sponsored" section still appears, let me know and I will work on including them.

Doesn't block sponsored content. Installed this logged into FB and saw sponsored ads. Reset my browser, went to Yahoo, saw more sponsored ads. Don't download- its crap and doesn't work.
