Clarity Ad Blocker for WordPress Announced, Receives Mixed Reactions

Stanislav Khromov announced Clarity, a plugin for hiding obtrusive banners, via Twitter and the Advanced WordPress (AWP) Facebook group today. It was first pushed to WordPress.org around a year ago, but the developer seems to be just now publicizing it.

The Clarity website describes its mission as: “Ads, upsells, and analytics banners have been running rampant in our WordPress dashboards for too long. It’s time to make them go away, once and for all.”

Clarity does not come with a settings screen. Once users active it, it attempts to hide banners and other notifications falling outside of its “acceptable ads policy,” which is currently a draft that Khromov has encouraged feedback on. This policy covers plugins that ask for reviews, inform users of discounts, or prompt them to upgrade to a commercial version.
