To install AdSweep extract AdSweep.zip and place the AdSweep.user.js file in a directory of your choice.

  • If you use Opera, open your web browser, hit Alt-P, click the “Advanced” tab on top, click the “Content” menu item on the left-hand side, click the “Javascript Options…” button on the right-hand side. In the “Javascript Options” dialog, click the “Choose” button, select the directory where you saved the AdSweep.js file. Click “OK” to save.

 

  • If you use Chrome, extract AdSweep.zip, rename the AdSweep.js file to AdSweep.user.js (important!). Then follow the instructions on the Chromium web site to enable user scripts and to place your AdSweep.user.js file into Chrome’s user script directory.

If reading the instructions on the Chromium web site, you wonder how to place the command flag, this means you just have to right-click the shortcut icon of Google Chrome, either on your desktop or in your Start menu, and click “Properties”. Select the second tab named “Shortcut”, and in the “Target” field, append –enable-user-scripts with a space in between. For instance:

Before: C:\Users\PC\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
After: C:\Users\PC\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe –enable-user-scripts

Don’t forget the space in between, and the command flag –enable-user-scripts has to be outside the double quotes, if any. Click “OK” to save changes.
 
  • If you use Mozilla Firefox, install the Greasemonkey extension, restart your browser. Then extract AdSweep.zip, rename AdSweep.js to AdSweep.user.js and drag and drop it into Mozilla Firefox. The Greasemonkey dialog will ask you if you want to install AdSweep. Click ok. You’re done.
