FakeAd Radar

Put an end to fake advertising

FakeAd Radar exposes fake adverts – such as misleading ‘As seen on TV’ adverts featuring fabricated celebrity quotes, miracle cures or crypto scams. Reported adverts are hidden from all users, whilst legitimate adverts remain visible.

How FakeAd Radar works

Report with one click: A “Fake?” label appears in the top left of every detected ad. One click reports it.
The community decides: The more users report an ad, the redder and more opaque its overlay becomes.
Legitimate ads stay visible: “It’s genuine” votes count against reports, and verified advertisers are never blocked.
Social media too: Report via right-click on an ad link.
No account, no setup: Reports are shared automatically with all users.
Adjustable: Set the threshold and your own trusted domains in the popup.
Available in 9 languages, following your browser language.

FakeAd Radar in action

Before and after: fake ads disappear, legitimate advertising stays.

The more reports, the redder and more opaque the overlay.

Report with one click: “Also fake”, “It’s genuine” or show anyway.

Works on social media too: just right-click the ad link.

Privacy built in

No names, emails, GPS data or browsing history.
Only reported ads, a random installation ID, language/time zone and a hashed IP value against abuse are stored.
No account, no setup.
