See who owns the site you're browsing — in one click.

BlackRock. Vanguard. State Street. They show up on almost every major company’s cap table. No Kings maps the domain in your tab to its parent company, shows how much the Big Three index-fund giants hold — and surfaces who actually has voting control when it isn’t them.

⭐ If this is useful, star the repo — it helps others find it.

You’ve seen the charts: the same three asset managers at the top of every shareholder list. The question isn’t whether they appear everywhere — it’s what that means, and who really runs the company.

No Kings runs in your browser and answers, for the page you’re on right now:

• Which company owns this website? (parent org, ticker, sector)
• How much do Vanguard + BlackRock + State Street hold combined?
• Who actually controls votes? (founder/family/dual-class — Walmart, Meta, NYT, Fox, Nike, Alphabet, etc.)
• Is the “they own this too” claim even valid? (e.g. private companies like Calm)

No account. No tracking you. Data stays local unless you opt into live lookups.

4. Click Load unpacked → select the no-kings folder
5. Pin the extension → visit any site above

Works in Chrome, Brave, and Edge (same flow).

Combined Vanguard + BlackRock + State Street (% of shares outstanding):

  A[Active tab URL] --> B[Domain eTLD+1]
  B --> C{In static DB?}

Offline-first: the built-in dataset always works. Network paths (Wikidata, live API) degrade gracefully — you never get a broken popup.

Click ⚙ in the popup:

• Toggle auto-notify and set threshold %
• Add an optional FMP API key (stored in chrome.storage.local only; sent only to the data provider)

We’re not here to feed a cartoon villain narrative — we’re here to make the claim inspectable.

1. Static numbers are illustrative. Percentages in data.js are rounded, frozen approximations — not live filings. Turn on an FMP key for runtime data.
2. The Big Three everywhere is real — and mostly mundane. They run index funds and ETFs on behalf of millions of pensioners and 401(k) holders. “Vanguard owns 8% of Apple” ≈ “everyone who owns Vanguard funds, collectively.”
3. Control ≠ cap table. Many flagged companies are founder- or family-controlled via dual-class stock. The extension shows both — because the meme skips that part.
4. Private brands get misfiled. calm.com is in the DB on purpose: privately held, so the public-shareholder frame doesn’t even apply.

Framing that holds up under scrutiny: reproduce the “they own everything” headline, then show where it breaks.

Found a wrong parent mapping? Know a domain that should be in the static DB?

1. Open an issue
2. Or fork → branch → PR

Good first issues: add domains to data.js, improve Wikidata parent-chain heuristics, tighten copy in the popup.

If No Kings helped you follow the money on the open web, a ⭐ on github.com/Frank-Masciopinto/no-kings is the best way to spread it.
