Boycott Facebook advertisers.
This Chrome extension does a few simple things. First, it looks for a Facebook page on any URL that you visit. If it finds one, it will display a small stop sign with a dollar sign in it in the lower left corner. Clicking this will send a user to Facebook's Ad Library, where you can search for recent and/or active ads of the company.
Should you find ads, the extension helpfully supplied you with their Twitter handle and a link to tweet-shame them. Yes, it's still social media, but it's a start.
Ideally it would do this lookup automatically, and Facebook does have an API for looking up ads. However, this requires a Facebook account and an App with them that they can easily shut off, so this is the workaround.
It is important to note that the extension is not very smart and all it currently does is tell you that it found a Facebook page URL on a given page. It is up to you, the user, to check whether they are actually advertising on Facebook and whether to tweet-shame and boycott the advertiser.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
