AB+ in Chrome (a few things have changed)

[Logos]

okay now that the Google API (somehow...) allows ad-blockers to not just prevent ads to be displayed but also now to block the downloading from ad servers, does that change anything for AB+ at all, as to the implementation in Chrome?

New in version 2.0: Ads are actually BLOCKED FROM DOWNLOADING now, instead of just being removed after the fact!

New in 0.9.20: Improved support for blocking ads as they are loaded. (Chrome doesn't yet support one last feature required for this to work 100%, but hopefully it will soon.)

I checked with the first extension mentioned above (with Fiddler2), and indeed most ad servers are blocked. Okay this said ad blocker currently available in Chrome are, as you've probably noticed, not as advanced as AB+ for Firefox, which explains why I'm posting this here today.

It does change things a little

However, #5 from blog/how-are-supported-applications-cho ... block-plus still applies for now.
