AdDetector

AdDetector is a Chrome and Firefox addon that flags articles with corporate sponsors by putting a banner above articles which may mislead the reader.

"Corporate content" is present in publications like the New York Times, Newsweek, The Atlantic, Buzzfeed, and others. Stories are sometimes marked as sponsored, but these indicators are sometimes very subtle, leaving many users unaware that the article is sponsored.

AdDetector contains rules to identify small "sponsored" markings. In some cases, these indicators are not even visible normally and instead are hidden in the source code of the webpage.

Install for Chrome or Firefox

Get the latest download links on the AdDetector site.

Running from source

Start by running ./setup_hardlinks.

The hardlinks connect generic code in src/ to the proper locations in browser-specific subdirectories (browsers won't follow symlinks). To make changes to injected code, you only need to edit files under src/.

Next, run the extension locally in your browser of choice. For Chrome, go to chrome://extensions, enable developer mode, and load the chrome/ directory. For Firefox, set up your sdk and run cfx run in the firefox/ directory.

Testing

The tests rely on casperjs and phantomjs. You should npm install -g these before running test/testHarness.js.

Contributing

I value contributions. Looking for an easy way to get involved? Add a rule for a site currently not covered by AdDetector, or check out the issues page. Please open pull requests on this Github repository.
