"Absolutely superb"
Version: Adblock for Chrome 2.5.60
Pros
Blocks almost every ad that shows up automatically.
Allows me to permanently edit out ads that slipped through the net.
Has a super-easy interface.Cons
Basically none, although there was a slight problem with the interface at first, because there's no help file. However, the entire thing is rather self-explanatory, and I got the hang of it really quickly.
Summary
AdBlock Plus is an extremely helpful program that blocks all of those annoying popup ads. I can recommend it to anyone with no reservations whatsoever, as I makes life on the Web a lot easier.

"I love this for personal use!"
Version: Adblock for Chrome 2.5.60
Pros
It makes browsing a whole lot more pleasant.
Cons
Funnily enough, the advertising. It presents you with a nag screen upon installation asking you to donate money (and also has a link within the popup menu saying "Did you know I do this for a full time job?").
In terms of deployment, this is a mess. Depending on your context (for me, it's school children), this could possibly be a real problem. Do you really want your users to be presented with a screen asking for them to pay money?Summary
For personal use, this extension rocks the party that rocks the party. For large deployments, it's a bummer that it's own advertising makes it unsuitable.

"An excellent ad blocking filter."
Version: Adblock for Chrome 2.5.60
Pros
Very comprehensive; just install it; select your filter subscriptions; enable it; forget it. AB will take care of the rest automatically. Filters better than other similar products.
Cons
None at this time.
Summary
Try it with your Chrome Browser. It's free, but if it meets your expectations, make a donation to the AB author.

"Great little ad blocker"
Version: Adblock for Chrome 2.5.56
Pros
only downloaded adblocker for chrome today & its blocked the ads on facebook, 3player, rte player & youtube so im really impressed so far. I havent noticed any speed loss on my net & you can have the icon sitting on your browser so its easily disabled when needed.
Cons
only cons i have found which isnt really a problem was when I went onto car zone or auto-trader I couldn't see the car photos & the site went jus more or less to text but it was easily solved by disabling it while i used them sort of sites.
Summary
All in all a great little program which does exactly what it says...

"Adblocking is good, but there are better ones out there"
Version: Adblock for Chrome 2.5.37
Pros
Good interface, easy-to-use
Cons
Not as powerful and fast as the Plus-Version (AdblockPlus), which is also available for Chrome
Summary
I wouldn't ever browse without an ad blocker any more!

"MADE COMPUTER FAST TOO"
Version: Adblock for Chrome 2.5.37
Pros
Outstanding. Couldn't be happier with this. Don't forget to donate to the creator if you feel like it is valuable to you like I do!
Cons
Absolutely nothing - unless you don't like peaceful surfing. (The other con is: there's nothing to black out ads & mute the volume on my t.v. That would make me super happy.)
Summary
Got this because I had a teddy bear walk across my computer screen between the glass of the monitor and the website I was trying to read & he spray painted TED on the 'glass window' I was looking through.... apparently this is a Flash ad for a movie. I was fed up with ads hijacking my computer enjoyement. I got AdBlock & instantly all of the flashing lights in multicolors, grotesque computer generated images, ads taking over my window, & any other headache producing 'click on me' attention grabber was GONE. When you sign out of FB there's always an ad - it's gone now too - just a blank area where it used to be.

"This is Great!"
Version: Adblock for Chrome 2.5.37
Pros
Awesome! Blocks 95% of advertisements on websites!
Cons
Slows down your browsing by a BIT, but nothing major.
Summary
This is great! It even blocks many advertisements on YouTube that come before videos. Also it blocks many advertisements on other websites. Saves you lots of time finding real download buttons, and watching videos.

"Best Download Ever."
Version: Adblock for Chrome 2.5.33
Pros
No exaggerating, this has changed my entire experience with the internet. It's amazing being able to read your e-mail, do work, and even surf the web without being bombarded with advertisements. Words cannot describe how hugely this has positively impacted my LIFE. Download this now. What are you waiting for?!?! =)
P.S. I created a CNET account just so I could review this download because this is too incredible not to support it. It's donation based, so please donate good money to this man. He truly deserves it. =)Cons
None. Honestly, this is the greatest download in the world.
