Ad Killer for Quora™ Extension

Removes all ads, sponsored content, promoted content, and teasers for \"premium\" posts. Tries to leave all useful content in place. I wrote it because the other Quora™ ad blocker I found made the site unusable by also removing the upvote/downvote buttons and the sidebar. This tries to simply remove the ads and leave the site fully usable. Let me know if it misses any ads for you. Quora™ makes changes to their site from time to time that breaks something, all easily fixed.

And note that if you make the extension's icon visible in the browser toolbar, it'll keep a running tally of how many ads it removes.

Lila Nedaria (ID: 000000974f4ec8e0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/15/2023 Works great. The extension only requires permission on Quora.com as of 2023/07 which is fair. I'm not sure what the bad reviews are about. Maybe they are stakeholders trying to tank the extension so people don't use it?

serban gruianu (ID: 000000ad227b70b2) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/07/2023 It wasn't working last time, now it does. 1 to 4 stars.

Robert Davis (ID: 000000e8f265de06) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/21/2023 Not sure why the other posts say it's fake or a scam. The competition? I had Quora open, installed this extension, reloaded the page and they were gone. According to Chrome, it's only able to read Quora content. I received no security warnings and a WatchDog scan shows no issues with the extension.
