This extension detects Facebook advertisements and Adchoices Advertisements using perceptual techniques like container size, presence of text that says "Sponsored," or presence of an image that is similar to core AdChoices icons. It then covers these ads with containers that mark them as ads.
**Please Note**:
- This extension does not remove ads entirely but covers them with a translucent cover that says "This is an ad" or "Adchoices Identified"
- This extension is only designed to detect advertisements and Facebook and with the AdChoices icon; it does not detect advertisements with different disclosure standards.
This is an academic proof of concept associated with our paper "The Future of Ad Blocking: An Analytical Framework and New Techniques" (<http://randomwalker.info/publications/ad-blocking-framework-techniques.pdf>). You can find the code for this extension at <https://github.com/citp/ad-blocking/> under "perceptual-adblocker"

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!
