Summary
AdBoost is a browser extension that intentionally adds advertisements to web pages, positioning itself as the only extension that does this. The project is hosted on GitHub and appears to be a satirical or ironic take on ad-blocking extensions, reversing the typical purpose of browser extensions that remove ads.
