AdQue - Settings

Ads on Queue - tune how the automatic ad-library checks run.

Check reliability

Stealth mode - Meta checks
On (default): the checker tab stays in the background and never steals focus - the popup stays open so you see results live, without needing to reopen it.
Off: the checker tab briefly opens in the foreground, like browsing there yourself, then closes and returns you to where you were. More reliable rendering, but the popup closes when focus shifts - reopen it afterward to see the result (it's cached, so it'll show immediately).
Stealth mode - Google checks
Same idea, set separately in case one platform renders more reliably in the foreground for you than the other.

Watchlist automation

When on, AdQue re-checks every Page/domain on your Watchlist on this schedule - in background tabs, even if the popup isn't open. Each entry updates the same way a manual "Check now" would.
Notify me when a tracked ad count changes
A browser notification when any Watchlist entry's (or the current tab's) ad count differs from its last check.
Weekly digest instead of per-change alerts
One rollup notification a week summarizing which competitors changed, rather than (or alongside) individual alerts - useful once you're tracking more than a couple.
Each Watchlist entry can also override this schedule individually (including pausing it) from its "Check now" row in the popup.

Keyboard shortcut & right-click menu

Run "Check all" on your Watchlist without opening the popup: press Ctrl+Shift+U (⌘+Shift+U on Mac), or right-click the AdQue toolbar icon and choose "Check Watchlist now". Either way you'll get a notification when it's done.

Data retention

Runs once a day in the background. Prunes old cached Ad Library/ Transparency Center results and old entries in each Watchlist competitor's history - the most recent check for each is always kept, so current status and the sparkline are never wiped out.
