Un acceptable Ads

This repository contains work that we did hacking on ad-blockers for our CS740 project.

We forked two Chrome extensions for this project:

We added the ability to set an “Ad Tolerance”, a configurable setting from 0-100% which determines what proportion of ads will be shown to the user on any given page. If the user has their tolerance set to 0%, the extension will block all ads like usual, and if the user has their tolerance set to 100% then the extension won’t function as an ad-blocker at all. Any setting between 0 and 100% will result in each ad element probabilistically being blocked.
