As we mentioned earlier, Chrome has no plugins support implemented so a new question raised in the heads of Chrome-community “is it possible to block ads in Chrome browser?”.

Well.. the answer is “yes” ;)

So here are some instructions that can help you in blocking unwanted ads in your tiny Chrome browser:
1) Go to http://www.privoxy.org/ and download the latest version of this proxy server. Install it at your PC.
2) Activate “Wrench” icon in Chrome’s top right corner, click at “Settings” and then “Change proxy settings”. Set 127.0.0.1 as you proxy server and 8118 as a port for proxy. Option “Bypass proxy for local settings” has to be checked as well.
3) Restart your browser
4) Enjoy ;)
