About Sponsor Sweeper — Hide Sponsored Ads on Google Search

Google Search is full of sponsored links. Sponsor Sweeper removes them the moment the page loads, so the first result you see is a real one. No filter lists, no account, no sign-up. HOW IT WORKS 1. Install it. There is no setup and no filter list to pick. 2. Search on Google as usual. 3. Sponsored blocks, shopping ads and promoted links are hidden before you see them. 4. Click the toolbar icon to reveal anything that was hidden. WHY NOT JUST USE A FULL AD BLOCKER? - Nothing is deleted. Hidden ads are one click away, so you never lose a result you actually wanted. - Built on Manifest V3 from day one, so it is unaffected by the platform changes that disabled the older generation of blocking extensions. - No filter lists to download, update or maintain. - It runs only on Google Search. It has no access to any other site you visit, and it makes no network requests of its own. Plenty of people run Sponsor Sweeper next to a general ad blocker. The two do different jobs. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO Sponsor Sweeper is not a full ad blocker. It doesn't touch YouTube ads, banner ads or trackers on other websites. It cleans Google Search results and nothing else. FAQ How do I remove sponsored results from Google? Install Sponsor Sweeper and search as usual. There is nothing to configure. The sponsored blocks at the top and bottom of the results page are hidden before the page finishes loading. Will it still work in current Chrome? Yes. Sponsor Sweeper was built on Manifest V3, so it is not affected by the changes that broke traditional blockers. Will it slow down my browsing? No. It loads only on Google Search pages, downloads no filter lists and makes no requests of its own. On every other site it is completely inactive. What if it hides a result I actually wanted? Nothing is deleted. Click the toolbar icon to reveal everything that was hidden on the current page. What data do you collect? None. No account, no sign-up, no analytics. Nothing leaves your browser.
