Google has banned AdNauseam from its web store and have left users with no access to their data. Follow these instructions to install it anyway.


Backup your data

If you're a new AdNauseam user, or don't need your saved ads, jump to Installation

  1. Click on the AdNauseam icon to open the menu
  2. Click the SETTINGS button at the bottom of the menu
  3. Scroll to the bottom and click EXPORT ADS

Install AdNauseam

Manual Install in Developer Mode

  1. Download the latest adnauseam.chromium.zip file from releases
  2. Extract the zip file to a folder where it can remain after install

      Warning: Do not delete this folder after install or the extension will be disabled

  1. In the Chrome menu, click Windows > Extensions or type chrome://extensions/ in the address bar
  2. Make sure the 'Developer Mode' checkbox is ticked
  3. Click 'Load unpacked extension' and go to the folder from step 1. Make sure you select the folder with the name 'adnauseam.chromium' (without a version number)
  4. If you have previously exported your ads, you can now import them

* Note that each time you restart Chrome you may be prompted to Disable Developer Mode Extensions. Hit Cancel and continue.

Retrieve your saved data

  1. After you have AdNauseam up and running again, go back to the AdNauseam settings page
  2. Scroll all the way down again and click ''Import Ads''
  3. Choose your backup
  4. You're all set
