External Links Detector

FIGHTING SPAM HIDDEN IN USER COMMENTS AND POSTS? The External Links Detector can help you.

The extension inspects the visited webpage, and highlights all external links, including hidden ones. It reveals not only links over blank characters, dots, but also hyperlinks over white-on-white text, or links hiding with complex techniques using injected CSS code.

------ I M P O R T A N T ! ----- SITE-BASED functionality - the External Links Detector (ELD) will only work on websites that you explicitly enable. You can do that either once per session by clicking the icon of the extension (we recommend keeping it pinned on the nav bar of the browser, otherwise you have to navigate through Chrome's menu to Extensions, and selecting ELD there), or permanently (recommended!) - visit the concerned website, right-click the icon of the ELD extension, and in the context menu, select the feature "This can read and change site data", and click the option with the domain name. Please see the last screenshot for illustration. ------ I M P O R T A N T ! -----

The extension is customizable in several ways. When you click the icon of the extension, or when you select "Options" in its context menu, you can adjust the following parameters:

IGNORE LIST - you can enter multiple domains that you want to exclude from the external links checking. Note: you do NOT need to add the domain name of the web page, where you want to use the tool!

COUNTER POSITION - you can select one of the four page counters for displaying the external links counter box.
