I'd like to be able to block ads from showing while I browse the Internet on Google Chrome. I've looked, but I'm always nervous about installing add-ons.

Is there an extension that does this?

  • I'm always leery myself, that's why sticking with officially verfied or endorsed apps/add-ons is good practice Aug 16, 2011 at 17:53
  • The problem my be yourself. Top chrome's addon is almost certificated so you can try. And on top of that, Google won't let any one use addon for an attack or hack your PC. Aug 16, 2011 at 18:04

  • I use the HOSTS file to block ads regardless of browser.

AdBlock

AdBlock (strange name, I know) has been great in my experience.

    Yep, I use it to block reddit's next page link too. Great for limiting my procrastination.

Adblock Plus

Adblock Plus is not affiliated with AdBlock in any way, but works just as well for removing ads.
