This is an article to teach how to discover the ad provider and report abuse to the ad provider. This is useful to make the ad provider suspend ads and monetization of content on the website.

how to find out the name of a website’s ad provider:

It is not difficult to obtain the name of a website’s advertising provider, although it is necessary to know advanced OSINT methods. But I will do my best to make it very easy to understand.

An easy way to do this is to use the brave browser, this browser blocks ads and shows the list of domains blocked by brave browser protection.

In the Trackers & ads section of brave browser trackers and ads, different domains owned by ad providers and other providers will be displayed. There you can collect information on all domains.

How to know which domain is owned by the ad provider?:

You can check which ad provider owns the domain by reading the Github repository called advertisements abuse report, where there is a very long list of different domains owned by ad providers.

You can search for the domain in this list and you will find the name of the ad provider along with the full list of domains and the email address of the ad network’s support or abuse team.

Once you know the name of the ad provider and get their email address, send them an abuse report along with the evidence and they will suspend service to the website owner and the ads will disappear.

Ghostery Extension:

The Ghostery name extension is similar to the brave protection but this extension shows some names of the ad providers, with this extension it will not be necessary to search for domains in the Github repository
