Hey,

Well, those of you who are feeling a little nostalgic of Adblock Plus on Firefox can do so no more!

I have found a little program that does a BETTER JOB!

Be aware that I'm not sure how well this works lol, but it removed all the ads on Maxishine's website automatically, so I'm satisfied.

This is what your Chrome might look like now....



Ok, if you want all these ads gone, listen in!


Step 1: Download Privoxy. Really easy, just select the .exe one from that list, and install it. MAKE SURE IT'S SET ON STARTUP ON WINDOWS!

Step 2: Go to Google Chrome, and click the wrench icon . Click options in that menu.

Step 3: Go to the "Under the Hood" tab, and click "Change Proxy Settings" as show here:



Step 4: Click 'LAN Settings" As shown below:



Step 5: Enter: "127.0.0.1" as the address, and "8118" as the port, as shown below:



Step 6: Push ok on all the screens you just opened. Close Google Chrome, then reopen it.


YOU'RE DONE!


Result:

NO ADS!





Lets see how much memory Privoxy uses hey?



Only 3mb of RAM used! That's about a quarter of Steam, a fifth of xFire, and a staggering 10th of MSN!


The good thing about Provoxy is that it allows you to customize it in SO many ways, you can change what ads you want blocked, and all kinds of things. Plus it's free and uses next to no memory.

Combine this with Chrome version 2, and you have a browser that is VERY fast, and set to take over Firefox.

Please, enjoy.

lol ohhhhhhhh damn my msn was in ur SS. Nice man, this actually works automatically!

Cool. Tell me when I can use mouse gestures, xmarks, and ubiquity. Until then I will be using firefox.

Does that work for other browsers as well or just chrome?

If your gonna be using Firefox. I would stick with the Adblock+ thats already out for it, its alot better and works well. This is probably the best your gonna get for Chrome atm.

Good find. Shame about the mess with all those icons on your desktop! Tssk, mine is clean as a whistle, NOTHING there, Recycle bin is in my quickstart tray thing.

Funny you mention.

I just organized my entire PC lol.

Now everything is orderly

Or you could DL adblock, click "block ad" above the ads, and you're done. This is really complicated to do a simple thing.

My 1TB drive is getting messy. I should probably do this now that I have a week of school off.
