Adblock for whom?

#1 Post by donald »

This article is up at CNet.com:Adblock for Chrome 1.3.27

The Application's source is listed as this site: Google Code

No word on Compatibility with SRWare Iron, QtWeb, and other Chrome based Browsers.

Has anyone tried to install this yet? Is it a portable add-on? (I know theme support is available, but does this add-on install and work portably?)

************
Yes I know that Iron supports using an AdBlock INI file, and QtWeb allows for a Built In Generic AdBlock (is this one updated?),
But I would like to use the same constantly updated ADBlock Plus I have known and loved for a long time now.

I use it on Iron as a Chrome extension.
Just go here - https://chrome.google.com/extensions/ - in Iron and download an extension. Requires the latest release of Iron though.

Adblock for Chrome works fine in Iron, but not sure if it simply hides the ads after processing the page, instead of blocking ad rendering like in Firefox.
is it stealth? ;)

I believe that, unlike Firefox, AdBlock in Chrome only hides the elements and does not stop it downloading them.
