AdBlock – great Google Chrome extension
Posted by jpluimers on 2010/10/01
Depending on UMTS and GPRS for my on-the-road internet access, ads take up a lot of my bandwidth and data limit so I decided to try to get rid of them.
My main browser is Chrome, so I did a quick search and found the AdBlock Google Chrome extension.
I have worked with that for at least a week now, and I’m happy:
- Bandwidth and data usage is down a lot.
- UMTS and GPRS internet speed feel a lot snappier now.
But more importantly:
- Browser CPU usage is down a lot
(apparantly a lot of those ads are very poorly written pieces of Flash/SilverLight/JavaScript/other things - Internet content is so much better readable
Conclusion:
AdBlock has made my whole internet browsing experience a lot more productive.
So I’ll keep AdBlock turned on when I’m on a regular high-speed internet connection as well.
