Ad-light Mode Extension

Ad-light Mode for News and Blogs

Description for Chrome Web Store:

Ad-light Mode offers a balanced browsing experience by replacing intrusive ads with minimal, non-disruptive placeholders. It helps users enjoy smoother web content without removing all ads, ensuring content creators can still earn revenue. Whether you're browsing news sites, blogs, or forums, Ad-light Mode reduces the annoyance caused by ads while maintaining support for online publishers.

Key Features:

✅ Ad Downgrade Mode

Replace large banners, auto-playing videos, or iframe ads with simple text links or placeholders.
Click on the placeholder to reveal the original ad if desired.

✅ Pop-up and Video Control

Block distracting pop-ups and auto-play videos with sound.
Keep your focus intact without the hassle of disruptive media.

✅ Instant Disable Button

Temporarily disable ad filtering on any site with a simple toggle.
Ideal for troubleshooting or when you want the full web experience.

✅ Respectful and Publisher-Friendly

Not an ad blocker. Some ads remain visible in lighter formats to support content creators.
Encourages a more user-friendly web without undermining monetization efforts.

✅ Privacy-First Approach

No tracking or data collection – all filtering happens locally on your device.

Who Should Use Ad-light Mode?

Readers who want a better browsing experience but still support online content.
Individuals frustrated by disruptive ads but uncomfortable with blocking all advertisements.
Users who value privacy and control over their online experience.

Note:
Ad-light Mode aims to minimize distractions, not block every ad. Some minimal ads will remain visible to promote a healthier balance between user experience and content monetization.
