Default Google chrome ad-block?

So I am finally done with FF. The new version got bloated and at idle starts sucking down resources like a fat kid in a cake factory.

So I am looking for an adblock program that is automatic. I did their ghey little "drop this in your bookmark" java plug-in but it sucks because you have to activate it for each page

Anyone got one that works on it's own?

Anyone use SRWare Iron?

Thinking I may just go ahead and switch to it.

No it was starting to have issues with some of the sites I visit regularly so I had to upgrade. The sites worked fine with the new version but the idle issue is killing me.

So the short answer is I am done with FF and looking for a more reliable browser.

I've been using chrome since it came out, its such a quick browser I'm a huge fan and I haven't had any pop ups period. give it a try for a week and see how you like it. its a very basic browser, but its quick.

I like it well enough but not gonna use it because I am not a fan of Google collecting info on my browsing habits to tailor advertising.

I may go back and try out Iron Browser though if safari doesn't make me happy in the next couple days.
