YourAd YourAd: Take Back the Browser

YourAd is an open-source browser extension and ad design tool that allows users to supplant their internet ads with custom replacements– designed by and for themselves. It uses Python/PIL to generate ads as specified by the user with a commandline tool, and works as a Chrome Extension.

For more details, see the write up here.

This is a fork of the Catblock Project; many thanks to those guys for their open-source work!

Included images are all non-attribution licensed images from pexel.com.

To get it up and running:

  1. pip install -r requirements.txt

  2. put source images you'd like to use in your ads in 'source' folder

  3. generate ads by calling python ad_creator.py from the command line

  4. load the extension in developer mode:

    • go to chrome://extensions in chrome
    • activate 'developer mode' in the top right of page with the checkbox
    • click 'load unpacked extension' and select 'yourad/chrome_extension' folder

off it goes!
