I was researching my laptop. The Compaq CQ62. Trying to find info on it. And then i heard it. The sound of my GPU fan spinning. Looked at the GPU load. 10%. What from? Adobe flash. Why? ADS!!!!

I'm sorry, i'll deal with that annoying flashing colors, and everything else, but when there are so many freaking ads that my GPU fan has to turn on, i have a problem.

So, why am i here? I need an adblock program. Not for firefox or IE, for Chrome. Does anyone have any ideas?

Simple flash blocking plugin. Works pretty well =)

Hmm... it blocks all flash. A lot of the sites i go to actually use flash for something productive. (Youtube, facebook, etc)

You could just block them in your router!

Then you'll never see them ever again!

a big one : ad.doubleclick.net

ad.yieldmanager.com
ads.cnn.com
banners.ebay.com
static.brazzers.com - porn ads

there is an Addblock plus plugin for chrome.... it doesnt work liek the one in FF (where the ads arnt even downloaded) ... in chrome it will still download the flash or w/e add but doesnt allow it to be loaded on the page.

Depending on your router, you can have certain things with huge lists of blocked domains built in and stuff. I forget which. You can use a squid proxy too. Only problem is if a website acts funny cause of the lack of ads, it's harder to disable.
