Description

Attempts to remove clickbait 'listicles' (from the likes of Taboola, Revcontent etc) from any web page you visit.

Sick and tired of Taboola's "You my like" clickbait article listings on every webpage you visit? I was too, so I decided to knock together a Chrome extension to remove them.

Clickbait Killer attempts to remove clickbait 'listicles' (from the likes of Taboola, Revcontent etc) from any web page you visit.

Currently it only removes Taboola and Revcontent "Links from the Web" lists, but please help me expand this extension's arsenal by sending me examples of sites that contain similar clickbait ads.

I'd love to hear feedback whether it's good or bad. This is just a side-project for me, but I'm keen to improve upon it where possible.

UPDATE:
Added 'Zergnet', 'Outbrain' and 'contentad'

The RevContent ads were getting worse and worse. There were tons of ads for marijuana which I don't like but could ignore. But then the ads became nasty. Verging on pornography. I have kids in my house and do NOT want them seeing these images on my monitor, nor do I want my husband seeing the images. Porn is everywhere as it is; The last thing I want to do is invite that toxic garbage into my home. Anyway, this works! I can visit my favorite news blog without cringing. Edit: Nope. Doesn't work after all. It's RevContent that I'm getting bombarded with and the ads are DIRTY. I do not want this in my home. It's Gateway Pundit that I'm seeing the ads on. I have an adblock that I can use but then it blocks the X (Twitter) posts embedded in the articles. If you could get this working I will love you to death.
