(817 votes, average: 3.59 out of 5)
Loading ...Updated with real chrome adblock addon.
The famous Adblock Plus for Firefox is finally available for Google Chrome. It brings the same convenience of blocking unwanted ads as you’re used to.
Simply install it and forget it. It’ll block all the ads in the background, update its filters automatically and never bother you.
From authors of the addon:
Adblock Plus is a community-driven open source project that aims to make the internet better for everyone. It was originally created for the Firefox browser and with more than 100 million downloads it has become the most popular browser extension in the world. We are now offering Adblock Plus for Google Chrome™ (formerly AdThwart) as well and the community is working hard to produce the same value you know from the Firefox version.

This is definitely a worthwile fix. Thanks guys!
Good way to get rid of adds until proper Chrome addon is out. Thanks Guys, works great.
…or you could just use Firefox.
I used to be a Firefox fanatic, but lately it has gotten almost as bad as IE and has become more bloated over time. In addition, for some reason, it constantly forget my security settings and I keep having to go into Options and tell it to remember my cookies.
Worked just fine for most websites. Yahoo seems, however, to have found a way around it – I couldn’t get their ads off no matter what I did. I verified this with FF on which I have adblocker running and NO ONE’S ads showes up in FF. So, I’d rate this 8.5 on scale of 10 – 10 being highest.
Looks like some work still needs to be done. I don’t look for the Googlers in CA to make an ad-on to do this as Google gets a huge chunk of $$$ from advertisements.
You can also use Chromepass as passward recovery tools for google chrome .
They do get paid for advertisements, but I don’t think they would have a problem blocking ads that aren’t google-powered.
i dont like how i see some text instead of the add =(
what is see instead of the add is :
Request blocked by Privoxy: Path matches generic block pattern.
See why this block applies or go to http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-0603125973499854&dt=1224966375681&prev_slotnames=3294383848&output=html&slotname=8130573144&correlator=1224966375637&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mychromeaddons.com%2Fchrome-addon-adblock-for-google-chrome%2F%23comment-1139&ea=0&frm=0&ga_vid=390996435.1224965799&ga_sid=1224966089&ga_hid=1605434477&ga_fc=true&flash=10.0.12&u_h=900&u_w=1440&u_ah=870&u_aw=1440&u_cd=32&u_tz=-300&u_his=7&u_java=true&u_nplug=25&u_nmime=88 anyway.
ablock for chormium built-in. no need for privoxy in chrome
Do no evil? Don’t use chrome. Instead use chromium. This build is the only one with adblocking built in: no proxy settings

works with *basic* AdBlock Plus lists
ACTUALLY not-evil

P.S. Your “article” is the most inane use of “addon” ever!
is it possible to code an Ad Block Plus for google chrome?
I agree with John Grigsby. Nick, using Firefox is out of the question. Firefox has become obsolete with Chrome in play due to the fact that it only works well on powerful computers…and even then it’s likely only to do so when its RAM recovery addon is installed. It’s become a joke and Chrome has completely exceeded anything Firefox could ever be.
Chrome is innovation; innovation must be fully realized.
That’s really a disorienting false-alarm.
Thanks a lot for the tip and i will try it now.

There is a simple addon that blocks ads in Google Chrome: http://www.adsweep.org
Hi All,
This is really stupid and pointless in many ways.. one of the reasons I like chrome is because it’s light.
Running other applications and proxy servers is just annoying and defies the point as I pay aswell use firefox tbh.
Sorry
Billy
fail. not an addon.
booo!!
found a real chrome adblock at mark8t.com!
Its worth to try this. Not an addon but still good though. i like it.thanx
i farted
this works good
I tried this method to block ads in Chrome and ok it works. BUT, good grief man. What a pain in the ass. I used this method for about a month but then ran into problems with my VPN connection and sorry but privoxy was the first thing to go whether or not it was the issue. Too much of a hassle just to block some stupid ads. That being said THANKS for posting this. It’s really Chrome and Google that I’m irritated with. I like Chrome because it’s lightweight and having to run a proxy service seems to defeat the whole point.
You can also use Hosts file based ad server block method.
In what bizzarro world is privoxy an addon?? (it’s not)
the only functional adblock option for chromium is Iron

Hey!
Thanks for the adblock program. It really works. It blocked it for me. thx really much man.
Thanks for sharing!!!
I am having ad free like Mozilla Firefox!!
Yay!
rf
Too bad it doesn’t work for vista x64
It didn’t block ALL the ads, there is already a proper addon. and what Privoxy screwed my settings so now all my programs that need to connect to the net, save for my browser, ftp server and email don’t connect. didn’t block ads too well, But All my VOIP and Chat programs don’t connect at all. JUST WHAT I WANTED YAY -.-
Cool, another article with a deceiving name to get rank and hits.
crap not worth it without even trying .btw adblocks better on firefox
OK – if not using Adblock, how else to block out avatars in Chrome when visiting forum (fori?) I go for text, not graphics. Can Chrome do this?
I get to many little performance issues with privoxy. It seems to be related to the way Chrome is handling proxy servers, because even when I disable privoxy, these persist. The most annoying one is that with some websites (Newegg, for example) it would dramatically slow page loading. Also, sometimes after a pages loaded, it would continue to give the swirly blue circle of “still doing that…” which is really obnoxious.
How is a person supposed to know what you are supposed to download for the Privoxy? Confusing site.

This is not a plugin! And please stop using the word AdBlock – it isn’t AdBlock!

Is a much better solution
Adblock Plus is the Michael Jordan of Adblockers.
Privoxy, Adsweep, Adblock userscript, Admuncher represent the Lindsay Lohan of adblockers.
Chrome is fine. The ads are awful. Firefox has never failed me, but I’m not married to it. Until there’s an actual way to block ads on Chrome, I’m sticking with Firefox.
I have no idea what the people are talking about who say that FF only works on supercharged computers. My computer is five years old, and FF works perfectly.
” Firefox has become obsolete with Chrome in play due to the fact that it only works well on powerful computers…and even then it’s likely only to do so when its RAM recovery addon is installed. ”
That is complete and total bullshit.
I cannot install Privoxy on Windows Vista. It says to simply launch the exe file, but nothing really happens. I get a CMD window that flashes on the screen for an instant and nothing else. I need to check the option for the program to not terminate on its own so I can see the message, which is that it “cannot be run in a DOS session”. It just does not seem to work at all.

I agree with ckale. Whoever said Firefox can’t run on anything but “super computers” is off his rocker, or is running 20 addons in it.
I run Firefox on 256mb RAM machines daily.
Actually, using Privoxy is a great idea regardless of browser. It doesn’t matter whether you use Firefox or Chromium, either way you’ll have a lot of “junk” filtered before it gets to your browser.
We’ve used it for a long time, and recommend it to everyone.
This article shouldn’t have been entitled an addon, but it certainly is useful information.
instead of blocking only the adds like its supposed to do, it blocked the entire website…

The real Chrome AdBlock exists, now that Google added real extension support:
http://bit.ly/ChromeAdBlock
One click, and it’s installed and ads are gone!
Screw the Firefox lovers on this list of comments. Why are you looking at this?
I agree that Privoxy isn’t really the “nice” way to go, but I’ll use Firefox again when the world has gone to hell.
Three cheers for proper extension support in Chrome now!
Wow. “screw you”. Some of you guys feel very strongly about web browsers. Personally I like Firefox, because it’s more advanced and customizable, plus it isn’t owned by a large money-driven company which makes me trust it a little more.
I loved Adblock for the first few days, but suddenly, it started blocking all images/videos in Chrome. Once I disabled Adblock, everything worked fine. Is there a fix in the works for this?
THIS IS SO COOOL !!!! I ENJOY TO USE GOOGLE CHROME ON 100% yeah !!
While the Privoxy is kind of an ad-blocker, it completely slowed down Chrome (and Firefox!), and i had to reset my router 3-4 times a day.
I guess i’ll just have to make peace with the ads.
Google Addon = Fast and lightweight
Firefox = Lots of features, user-powered, could work around to make it lightweight
IE = catching up on the features of firefox
Just use firefox until chrome comes out with the addons tbh.
I use chrome because I’m not much of an addon type of person since I only just need ad-block. However firefox has lots of useful addons that other browsers don’t have.
thank you merry christmas lol thx
Hi everyone,
A real Chrome AdBlock has been released at chromeadblock.com. It’s got 45,000 users (at the moment) and was just featured in the New York Times. Install and enjoy!

Privoxxy….No thanks.
uninstall the thing and your PC internet access is knackered.
Never again….AVOID
Yea Adblock plus for Firefox is WAY better. This slider crap has no flexibility. Either it blocks just the image or it blocks everything IMG on the page. Haven’t seen it stop scripts yet or anything. WEAK!!! thats all i have to say
Thanks a lot, I just installed a program that doesn’t do anything.
Yeah, and what if we need a proxy server afterwards? I do. And we need to be able to choose what to block.
I’m going back to Firefox.
this doesn’t even work on OS X machines, since theres no inbuilt specific proxy connection settings. An addon for Privoxy would really be nice, although its pretty advanced not many would want to deal with it.
Chrome’s lite. Adding proxy services to it is stupid. Somebody just needs to make adblockplus for Chrome. I use Firefox for important stuff, but Chrome definately kicks ass for netbooks and speed.

Great, thanks! No more annoying ads
) However, it seems to compromise with Facebook? (won’t open dialogue boxes) 
Anyone got a tip on how to get this to run painless on FB? Thanks heaps!
too bad it doesn’t block facebook entirely!
The red addon button has dissapeared in chrome.
How do I get it back?
Do I have to reinstall, I don’t see how i can uninstall when i dont have its menu anymore?
It seems to function on websites thou, so its only the button missing.
Uhg. It’s not very user friendly for chrome if you want to try and block something specific beyond basic ads. Like, say you’re on a forum site and someone has an obnoxious picture in their signature you’d like to block. You right click on something on a page and block it.
Great!
But wait! Here’s another pop up! Now it asks you to block 32 OTHER THINGS ON THE PAGE THAT YOU DON’T WANT TO, which happens to be every since other picture on the page!
Don’t want to block those? Too bad! Clicking cancel makes that one little thing you wanted to block visible again. Couldn’t figure out the ‘Edit’ command either. Should just have a ‘We found others elements that match what you just blocked. Do you want to block those too?’ pop up with a YES or NO feature.
So, for blocking general ads, it’s great, but when it comes blocking specific content you pick and choose, this addon falls flat.

It is the lack of add-ons that keeps me using Firefox. Please make AdBlock Plus and NoScript for chrome.
I’ll take slow and safe over fast and insecure any day.

Agree with some others, id much rather use addons and exstentons on firefox than chrome. I’ll take slow secure ram hog over fast non secure. Nice try you newbie idiots.
This sucks. It is misrepresented and is not really an add-on. I do not recommend downloading it and I have a very hard time believing that CNET endorsed this product. This product is also a type of adware itself.
Its not an addons or Plugins, it is just a tutorial from which you can block ads on any sites.
Great tool, I use it all the time now, works perfectly. A must have for Firefox and Chrome users. =)
It’s interesting, if they are blocking all the ads, or just leaving their adsense unaffected and still visible. It seems that’s not the case this time, though they might be fighting against their own service and product. Then the question is why? Is it because users are sooooo keen about it? Or just because everybody else is doing it?
