Adstxter

A simple chrome extension for checking ads.txt files. Provides a one-click test for the presence of given sellers. Active only when started by a user, otherwise it's suspended and not draining any resources. Handling of ads.txt follows the IAB Tech Lab ads.txt Specification Version 1.0.2.

Install it from the Chrome Webstore.

Usage

• Test is triggered when the extension is started or new sellers are entered.
• Targets the currently loaded website.

Limitations

• Checking ads.txt on subdomains is currently not implemented.

• Due to JavaScript security limitations, it's not possible to control the number of redirects when fetching ads.txt. (AFAIK). As a result, the following ads.txt directive isn't honored:

  Only a single HTTP redirect to a destination outside the original root domain is allowed to facilitate one-hop delegation of authority to a third party's web server domain. If the third party location returns a redirect, then the advertising system should treat the response as an error.
