Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.8
GPA, above 4 of the 34 other SEO browser extensions we grade
NoFollow is a free Chrome and Edge extension by IgorWare, the one-person software shop of Igor Jerosimić, that outlines links marked nofollow, ugc or sponsored on any page you visit. It can also mark followed and external links, and an info box shows the robots meta tags a page sets for Googlebot, Bingbot, Applebot and other crawlers. Outline styles are written in CSS and can be changed.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about NoFollow, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No rating on record, but nothing to set up: install it and outlines appear on the next page, with styles you can change later.
- 1
Best for spotting nofollow links on a page
NoFollow outlines links marked nofollow, ugc or sponsored on any page, and an info box shows the robots meta tags a page sets for Googlebot, Bingbot and other crawlers, for free.

The report card
Best for spotting nofollow links on a page
NoFollow outlines links marked nofollow, ugc or sponsored on any page, and an info box shows the robots meta tags a page sets for Googlebot, Bingbot and other crawlers, for free. It's one narrow job: ugc and sponsored links get the same outline as nofollow, and it marks links in place rather than listing them in a report.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | Free, with no paid version anywhere on IgorWare's site. |
| Free plan and trial | A | Free outright: link outlines, the robots meta tag box, site filters and custom CSS styles, with nothing to upgrade to. |
| Features | D | One narrow function: outlines for nofollow, ugc, sponsored, followed and external links, Yandex noindex tags and a robots meta info box. The three rel values share one style, and there's no report of the links. |
| Ease of use | B | No rating on record, but nothing to set up: install it and outlines appear on the next page, with styles you can change later. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | A browser extension for computers only, with no phone version and no integrations. IgorWare says its Safari version isn't supported until further notice. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who NoFollow is for
- Fits if you need to know whether links on a page pass on ranking credit
- Works for link builders confirming that a placed link isn't nofollow
Who it is not for
- Watch out: ugc and sponsored links get the same outline as nofollow, so you can't tell them apart
- Too light for audits, as it marks links on the page you're viewing and doesn't list or crawl them
- Skip it if you're on Safari, which IgorWare doesn't support until further notice
- Watch out: the developer hasn't identified itself as a trader, so EU consumer rights don't apply
Good to know

Part 04 · Standing
Where it stands
Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
4/34
Other SEO browser extensions it is graded above
NoFollow's GPA of 2.8 is higher than 4 of the 34 other SEO browser extensions we grade, and level with 12.
It stands best on free plan and trial (A, above 5 of 34) and worst on features (D, above 0).
NoFollow has no paid plan.
On features, ease of use and platforms it scores 2.0 out of 4. Nothing scores higher for less, though at least one tool matches that score at a lower price.
Each grade against the category
Every bar is all 35 SEO browser extensions we grade, cut by the letter each got. NoFollow’s own letter is outlined.

Price against what you get
Each dot is one of 34 SEO browser extensions. Further left costs less; higher up scores better on features, ease of use and platforms. NoFollow is the marked dot.
What paid plans start at, a month (each step along is roughly double) →
Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
NoFollow is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 18 of the 34 other SEO browser extensions grade higher.
What you could not
- An index of the links between billions of web pages.
- A crawler that checks every page of a site.
What this rests on. NoFollow’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
