This extension highlights Facebook advertisements in a user’s news feed.

NOTE: this does not cover ads in the right sidebar, which Facebook has not "adblock-proofed," only those in the newsfeed, which Facebook is attempting to make visible even to users using adblock.

• Fixed a glitch where the first sponsored post was not recognized.

• Fixed a small bug that prevented detection of the new ads with "Sponsored" based on pseudoselectors

• Added a "close" button to the highlighting overlay so users can interact with the ad if they wish.
• Search for the "Sponsored" text includes text added using the :before/:after pseudoselectors.
• Add the locale-specific "Sponsored" text below "THIS IS AN AD"

• Added support for all Facebook locales.

• manifest.json contains information about the overall structure of the extension as well as the title, version number, and description.
• popup is just a simple description of the extension that appears when the user clicks the icon in the upper right.
• ad_remover.js is the script that runs on facebook.com, searches for ads, and highlights them.
• locale_info.js keeps information about the "Sponsored" text in various languages to support all Facebook locales.
• externalCode contains jquery 1.12.4
