Clickbait Killer Extension

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'

Steven Lam (ID: 0000005ba342c940) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/02/2020 Works for some sites, but not others. I assume from the reviews this will be a growing list. Currently does not block clickbait on https://www.reuters.com/ (click bait by dianomi)
