AdBlock for Chrome review

AdBlock for Chrome is the go-to extension if you want to remove ads, pop-ups, and other annoyances that get in the way of viewing a page. It's easy to add to your browser and gets to work right away.

Pros

It works: In AdBlock, a handy number under the icon in the browser toolbar shows you how many items it's blocking, so you know it's always working.

Customizable: Although you can just add the extension and go, there are plenty of ways to customize which sites it works on, and a quick menu lets you quickly turn the application off for a page you're on or even all subpages within a specific domain.

Cons

Pay what you want: The software is free to use, but the publisher does ask you to ante up what you think AdBlock is worth. It's not a huge drawback, but you will be asked to pay. The default amount is set to $35.

Bottom Line

AdBlock for Chrome does a stellar job of keeping only the content you want on a page. That means no ads, pop-ups, nor other distractions. If you use Chrome, this is a must-have.
