⚠️ Beta Feedback Welcome!
AdSnout is actively improving. Found ads we missed? Encountered issues? Your feedback helps us build better ad detection. We're especially interested in:
- Pages where ads aren't detected properly
- False positives or missed legitimate ads
- Suggestions for additional ad networks to support

Note: For best results, disable ad blockers when using AdSnout. The extension needs broad webpage access to detect the full range of advertising technologies used across the internet.
