Thought of Ad blocker for Chrome, but.....!!
« on: December 18, 2011, 06:13:11 PM »
Fed up with pesky ads cluttering the scene, I decided to install an ad blocker extension. Hpwever having seen the warning (see att) I'm having second thoughts. When I had a similar addon before a Winows reinstall I cannot recall such a warning.

What could have changed, is Chrome being just ultra cautious?

Is that Adblock Plus you intend to install? If so, I'll just say that it is Chrome being cautious.  :-\

One option is AdBlock from chromeadblock.com, the other Adblock Plus for Google Chrome from Adblockplus.org. The later is Beta.

Both have the warning.

Then I guess it is a case of "Take Your Pick".  :angel:

(Hmm. The name Michael Miles just popped into my mind. "Yes / No Interlude", anyone?  ;)  )

I like your logic. :)

I have been using Adblock Plus, with Firefox, for years without any cause to complain.
