  BadAds helps you browse without getting interrupted by annoying popup ads, surprise tabs, and fake redirects.
  
  Some websites try to trick you into clicking buttons that open a completely different page. Others launch new tabs without warning, send you to ad-filled sites, or keep pushing you away from the page you actually wanted to use. BadAds is built to stop that behavior before it gets in your way.
  
  The extension watches for suspicious new tabs and popups that open to unrelated websites. If something looks like a deceptive ad redirect or an unwanted popup, BadAds closes it automatically. This helps you stay on the site you meant to visit instead of getting pulled into spammy pages, scam offers, or endless ad chains.
  
  BadAds is also designed to avoid breaking normal browsing. It tries to allow important actions such as sign-in windows, payment popups, and other trusted website features that people actually need. If there is a site you trust, you can add it to your allow list so it will not be blocked again.
  
  The extension also gives you a simple dashboard so you can see how many popups and redirects were blocked. You can pause protection at any time, manage your trusted sites, and keep track of what the extension is doing in the background.
  
  Why install BadAds?
  
  Because regular browsing should feel simple. You should not have to fight through fake buttons, extra tabs, and misleading ad pages just to read an article, watch a video, or download a file. BadAds helps keep your browser focused on what you chose to open.
  
  If you are tired of websites opening unwanted pages, interrupting downloads, or sending you to sketchy advertising pages, BadAds gives you a cleaner and more controlled browsing experience. It is a straightforward tool for people who want fewer distractions, fewer tricks, and more control over where their browser goes.
