AdDetector: Reveals Ads In Articles

In this day and age, many publishers are injecting ads and sponsored material into their content to generate more money. They don’t always make it obvious to their readers though. AdDetector happens to be a nifty tool that puts a red banner over articles that may appear unbiased but are actually advertisements. It can spot ads on over 50 top newspapers and online publications.

The goal of this tool is to bring more transparency to native advertising. It contains rules to identify sponsored articles. You could do it yourself by analyzing the source code, but this tool make the job easier. It is available for Firefox and Chrome at this time.
