Adblock Plus is a non-profit project that aims to make the internet better for everyone by purging bad advertisements and giving the users control over the content a website is permitted to load. It is a free browser extension for Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox and works as a content filtering solution that blocks any unwanted content such as advertising, malware or any other annoyance.
Adblock Plus for Firefox is the most popular browser extension in the world. With more than 115 million downloads it is not only the most popular Firefox add-on but also the most downloaded browser-app of all times.
Adblock Plus for Google Chrome was released in December 2010 and the community is working hard to produce the same value as users know from the Firefox version. Due to limitations in the Webkit engine Google Chrome and the open-source Chromium are based on, filtering in Firefox is currently more effective.
This blog has the purpose to gather information about Google Chrome and ad-blocking extensions such as Adblock Plus.
