Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Choose between three detection modes:

  • All external links – marks HTTP and HTTPS links that lead away from the current site.
  • Sponsored links only – marks links whose rel attribute contains sponsored.
  • Only selected domains – marks links to domains you explicitly list.

You can configure:

  • Marker text such as *, ↗, Ad, Sponsored, or Advertisement.
  • An accessibility label for symbolic markers.
  • Marker position before or after the link.
  • Marker size, color, border, and underline behavior.
  • Included and excluded domains.
  • Whether image links are marked.
  • Whether subdomains are treated as internal.
  • Whether links inserted after page load are detected with MutationObserver.
  • Simple CSS selectors that should never be marked.

The plugin does not rewrite destination URLs and does not automatically add nofollow, sponsored, target="_blank", or other link attributes.
