AdShy — block ads. Enjoy the web.

A Chrome extension with a single purpose: it detects advertising blocks on web pages and hides them. When simple rules are not enough, an AI classifier checks the block, and your "ad / not an ad" marks make the filter more accurate.

Chrome Web Store — coming soonHow we handle data

How it works

1. Local detection. The extension looks for blocks with ad signals (disclosure labels such as "Advertisement", "Sponsored", "Promoted" or "Ad" — multilingual labels and known advertising slots are recognised locally — plus ad slots and banners). Explicitly labelled blocks are hidden immediately, inside your browser.
2. AI check (only after you accept). On first run AdShy asks for your consent. If you accept and a block looks like an ad but has no explicit label, a short cleaned excerpt (up to 600 characters, links reduced to domain names) is sent to our server and classified by an AI language model (accessed via OpenRouter). If you decline, nothing is sent and only local detection runs.
3. Your corrections. Confident ads are hidden silently, without a placeholder. The toolbar icon shows how many blocks were hidden on the current page; open it and press "Show hidden ads" (or use the right-click item "AdShy: show/hide hidden ads on this page") to outline them and get "Hide again" and "Not an ad" buttons on each. Missed ads can be hidden via right-click → "AdShy: hide as ad". You can also switch AdShy off in its popup.

Banks and other financial sites, PayPal/Stripe checkout, health portals, webmail and messengers, sign-in pages and pages with password or card fields are skipped: nothing from them is analysed or sent. This is a best-effort list, so you can exclude any other site yourself.

Plans

• Free ($0) — up to 200 AI checks per day (resets at 00:00 UTC). Cached answers, explicit ad labels, your personal rules and failed checks do not count. When the limit is reached the extension keeps working locally.
• Premium — coming later: a higher daily AI limit. It will be sold by the service operator on this website (not through Google). Terms will be published before sales start.

Privacy in short

• No selling of data, no ads, no trackers. This website uses no scripts and no third-party fonts.
• Nothing is sent until you accept the consent screen. After that, only the text of suspected ad blocks (up to 600 characters, may include image alt/title text; e-mails and long numbers are masked, names and addresses are not) and the domain of the page where it was found are sent — never full HTML or full page URLs. The domain does reveal which sites show suspected ads.
• Your personal rules are stored locally in the browser and are removed with the extension.
