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. Once you've tried it, you'll use no other. Booger Ad Muncher is the perfect ad blocking solution for Chrome. I discovered it works great with Chrome after using it with both IE and Firefox.

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. The adblock.ini file contains information to block hundreds of advertisers, included are all the popular advertising companies like Google and Yahoo. + + + + + + + How to Block Ads in Google Chrome??? 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 short, you use the free Privoxy web proxy software, which blocks web sites serving ads, and configure Google Chrome to use the proxy. Here's how to do it. 1. Download and install Privoxy [ http://www.privoxy.org/ ]. 2. Click on the Wrench icon in Chrome in the upper right corner. 3. Choose options>Under The Hood>Change proxy settings. 4. 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. After I installed Privoxy I got an error going to Gmail, but a refresh fixed the problem. However, I'm still seeing Google text ads in Gmail at least. Have you given Privoxy a try for ad blocking?
