# Highlight Google Ads
> What is thing?
This is a dead simple Firefox extension to make ads in Google search results really stand out:
> But...why would I want to highlight ads?
Google has changed the way paid ads are displayed in search results over the last few years, slowly but surely until they are _nigh-indistinguishable_ from organic results. I might click on an advertisement, sure, but I want to know that's what I'm doing when I do it.
> So this is really just about you not wanting to be manipulated?
Exactly! Of course, installing an extension to make search results more prominent isn't [the best solution](https://duckduckgo.com) -- but every little bit helps. Even if you've already made the switch to a better search engine you'll still inevitably end up on a Google results page sometimes and it's good to be informed when you do.
