Block sponsored ads on Kijiji with a Chrome Extension

Block sponsored ads on Kijiji with a Chrome Extension

By Easton , 18 June, 2023

The amount of sponsored ads and injected ads on Kijiji.ca is staggering. When you search for an item and no results are found, Kijiji will "fake" results and add multiple pages....of nothing. Say you searched for a dining table, you might receive a few real results, while the rest of the pages are Wayfair.ca ads.

Taking a look at the before and after below: 

 Powered by rage, I created a Chrome extension to fix this. It removes paid ads (especially auto dealerships), bumped to the top ads and all content from Wayfair and 3rd party sites. While it should to no surprise in 2023 that sites are littered with advertisements, the ads on Kijiji are intentionally misleading, thinking they are approved ads from the company itself.
