Telehealth Ad Lens for the Meta Ad Library

A free browser extension for Chrome, Edge and Firefox. It adds a panel to the Meta Ad Library that sorts ads by days running, flags health ad review risks and saves a swipe file. No account, no tracking, nothing leaves your browser.

Store listings are on their way. Until then, install it from the files below.

What it does

List the ads on the page
Advertiser, Library ID, start date, days running, media type, versions, primary text, call to action and landing domain.
Sort by days running
Long-running ads are the closest public signal of what works. A signal, not proof.
Filter
By video, image or carousel, by minimum days running, by landing domain, or by text.
Telehealth searches
One click for semaglutide, GLP-1, hair loss, testosterone, ED, HRT or birth control. These only change the Ad Library URL.
Review-risk badge
Each ad gets a low, medium or high review-risk badge from the same rules as the ad compliance checker. Click it for the flagged phrases and their sources.
Check an ad
Opens the free compliance checker with the text filled in. Nothing is sent until you click.
Swipe file
Save ads with tags and boards and export CSV in the columns of the swipe file template. Text and links only, never media.
Watch a search
Save the ads you have seen; next time, new ones are highlighted. The comparison happens in your browser.
Hooks and counts
Copy the first line of every ad on the page, and see counts by advertiser and media type.

Install

  1. Download and unzip the file for your browser from the project's release files.
  2. Chrome or Edge: open the extensions page, turn on developer mode, choose “Load unpacked” and pick the unzipped folder.
  3. Firefox: open about:debugging, choose “This Firefox”, then “Load temporary add-on” and pick the manifest file.
  4. Open the Meta Ad Library and search. The panel appears on the right.

What it does not do

  • It does not download images or videos.
  • It does not fetch Ad Library pages in the background or click anything for you.
  • It does not say an ad is allowed. The badge is a review-risk signal from public rules, not legal advice.

Questions

Is Telehealth Ad Lens made by Meta?
No. It works with the Meta Ad Library but is not affiliated with or endorsed by Meta.
Does it download ads?
No. It reads the text on the page you are viewing and never downloads images or videos.
What data does it collect?
None. There is no account and no analytics. Your swipe file and watched searches are stored in your browser.
Why do some ads show no text?
The Ad Library hides some health ads behind an age check for logged-out visitors. The extension only reads what the page shows.
