Porting request: Google Chrome
Hi,
Today Google has released great browser - Google Chrome. But when I've tried to surf the web, I saw lots of ads! Just because there's no adBlockPlus for Chrome.
My suggestion is to port adBlockPlus to Google Chrome. Lots of users all over the world will be very grateful when it will be done.

Chrome is based on webkit, so this isn't going to happen easily just like that.Elvoret wrote:My suggestion is to port adBlockPlus to Google Chrome.
Sorry for being an a--hole but I have to disagree. I hope wladimir sticks to gecko browsers and dedicate his valuable/limited time for those only.

I feel that looking to port an adblocker that blocks ads and tracking to a web browser made by a company that serves ads and tracks people may not be possible
Google's tracking will be totally unstoppable as you will have given them 'the key to the door' by installing a piece of software that you will use to browse the entire web. Also consider your online business and purchases .. and any other webmail you may use .... etc, etc
Can anyone say "Goodbye privacy"?
No thanks. I'll stick with Firefox.

Re: Porting request: Google Chrome
By all means, feel free to do so right away. I recommend you have a look at the lastest dev build and start from there. It has some awesome new features.Elvoret wrote:If this won't happen in the next few months, looks like I will have to spend my valuable/limited time to port it

If Wladimir takes a good look into Chrome, I would not be surprised if he found some things about it that are a bit 'shady'.
I am already suspicious .... like Netscape and AOL

Currently Chrome cannot be extended by 3rd parties:
So until Google will publish new extendable version of Chrome we can't do anything about it.
Quote from http://groups.google.com/group/chromium ... 5eb095f737mbelshe@chromium.org
Right now, there is no extensions mechanism. This is obviously a
Chrome weakness, but one which will be addressed soon.

RE: chrome
I've been trying this browser for a couple of hours and it's a solid piece of software...
And it would be a lot more useful if we can use ABP in it
So please, keep that in mind

I will keep using FireFox until someone takes a closer look at Chrome.
I don't trust google anymore after seeing how much data they collect on us from watching youtube video.
The only thing left for google to do now is add everyone's data to street view, that way anyone can see where you live and what you do on the net lol.
