  • Google Chrome AdBlock with Privoxy
    • ]]>     I found a new way to use the Google Chrome browser without having to install or use a proxy.

    The solution is called http://www.adsweep.org/

    Since I use the developer preview channel, I installed adsweep as an extension/plugin.

    Quick steps for Chrome-dev with adsweep extension:

    1. Switch chrome to dev channel with the Google Chrome Channel Changer (more info)
    2. Download AdSweep extension AdSweep.crx
    3. Install extension by running chrome from command-line with:
    4. chrome.exe –install-extension=AdSweep.crx

      Chrome is installed by default in your application data profile: for Vista users:
      C:Users[user]AppDataLocalGoogleChromeApplication

    5. Enable extensions by adding:
      –enable-extensions
      to your Google Chrome Shortcut
    6. Verify that the extension/addon loaded correctly by navigating to chrome-ui://extensions/

    Happy browsing, without Ads and proxy!
