Adblock Plus and (a little) more
Adblock Plus for Google Chrome™ (Beta) 1.0.26 released · 2011-01-20 08:51 by Wladimir Palant
Install Adblock Plus for Google Chrome™
Changes
- Fixed: High memory usage and performance impact on very dynamic websites (particularly Facebook games, forum topic)
- Fixed: Blocked stylesheets aren’t being disabled
- Worked around WebKit bug 45586 on nubert.de (forum topic)
- Fixed: Click-to-hide might add duplicate filters
Note: The change for dynamic sites might mean that you will see ads again on pages that add content dynamically (for example Google Reader). We were unable to find any scenario where this happens, if you see one however please report it in the forum.

Blocking works already pretty well if you are using EasyList. The proper solution will take a little longer, so far we are only pushing out minor releases. When we start with the real architectural changes the version number will change to 1.1.x.

AdThwart worked well, but this new adblock plus works quite poorly. many sites I visit are not blocked (eg. Digg etc). I’ve now installed “Adblock Plus-mod for Google Chrome” – and all of the sites that weren’t blocked (and there were many) are now being blocked.
FYI – I un-installed Adblock plus, re-installed it, selected EasyList, etc. There were many, many ads that still came up. I’m surprised anyone uses this extension.

I suggest you create a forum topic with actual links to the websites. Also, given that Adblock Plus for Chrome only improved AdThwart’s blocking capabilities (albeit still not perfect: https://adblockplus.org/en/known-issues-chrome#blocking) I suspect that EasyList didn’t download for you. Please check the options for download errors. Also, try visiting https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylist.txt directly.
