I discovered it works great with Chrome after using it with both IE and Firefox. IMHO, it's the best ad blocker out there and works silently in the background.

Many think that this has been a deliberate choice by the Google development team to avoid harming Google’s core businesses Adsense and Adwords. Whatever the reason it surely means that the web browser is unattractive to those users who prefer to block ads on Internet websites. Several websites have posted workarounds to block ads with bookmarklets or third part solutions like Privoxy. While that surely works it is not the same as to simply flip a switch and have the ad blocking functionality. This is currently not possible in Google Chrome but it is possible in its Open-Source pendant SRWare Iron. Iron is based on the Chromium source that is also used in Google Chrome. The advantages of Iron are increased privacy and security. What many users do not know is that it is possible to enable ad blocking in the Iron browser. This is done by downloading a file called adblock.ini from the developers homepage and copying that file into the main SRWare Iron directory replacing the blank file of the same name.

One of the biggest reasons most Windows users are sticking with Firefox over Google Chrome is its extensibility—and the most popular Firefox extension by far among Lifehacker readers is Adblock Plus [ http://lifehacker.com/5042246/battle-of-the-must+have-firefox-extensions ]. If annoying web site advertisements are the only thing holding you back from using Chrome, a user at the Geekzone forums explains how to block 'em without an extension.

In the Internet Properties dialog's Connections tab, click on the LAN settings button. 5. Check off "Proxy settings" and in the address setting add 127.0.0.1 and in the port 8118. 6. If you have the option, you can also check off "Bypass proxy for local settings". 7. Click "OK," close Chrome and restart it. Privoxy's default installation blocks ads from coming through it, so from there you'll notice ad-free web pages.
