Description
See every commercial link on a page, and whether the disclosure is where a reader would find it. Does this page disclose its affiliate links where a reader would actually see them? Click the icon on any article and you get one number: how many commercial links are on it. Then the three facts the number does not tell you — how far a reader scrolls before meeting the first one, how many carry no sponsored or nofollow attribute, and where the disclosure sits relative to that first link. The gap, in pixels On the roundup used for the screenshots, the first paid link arrives 1,890 pixels down and the notice explaining it sits 6,360 pixels further on, in 11px type. That is not an opinion about the page. It is a distance, and you can scroll and check it. A page that does it properly looks different immediately: the notice comes before the first link, at reading size, and the links carry a rel attribute. Same tool, same read, obviously different answer. What it reads - Commercial links, by the mechanism visible in the href — an attribution redirect through a known network, or a merchant link carrying a partner id. - Which networks, and how many links go through each. - The rel attribute on every one of them. - The disclosure: how far down the page, what size the type is, and whether it is hidden inside a collapsed toggle. - The disclosure's own words, quoted, so you can go and find them. What it refuses to tell you Every MurmTools extension refuses at least one number that other tools invent. This one refuses earnings. Commission rates live in a private dashboard, so no page can show them and no figure is offered — where a number cannot be known, you get an em-dash and the reason instead of an estimate dressed up as a measurement. It also never says "undisclosed", "deceptive" or "unlawful". Disclosure rules differ by country and by where a reader stops scrolling. A distance in pixels is not a legal conclusion. The panel states distances; the judgement is yours. And it says no. On a page with nothing commercial on it, it reports how many outbound links it checked and tells you none of them were. Tools in this category tend to find something everywhere, because finding nothing looks like a broken product. Two permissions, no host access activeTab and scripting. Nothing runs until you click the icon, and there are no host permissions at all — it has no access to any website until you ask it for one, and it cannot run in the background or touch another tab. No account. No server. No analytics. Nothing about the pages you visit leaves your machine, because there is nowhere for it to go. Even the typefaces are inside the package rather than fetched from a font host. Free.
