| 836921 | 2009-12-06 05:06:00 | Hi guys and hoping you can :help:, please. My wife loves to use the games, on Facebook, but for some reason my Firefox 3.6b4, doesn't and locks up. :badpc: She has been using the latest, Google Chrome, but it seems the advertisement's may be slowing things down. Can you, in simple terms, tell me how I can set up add block on Chrome as I understand it's not as easy as Firefox? Thanks, Ian. |

| 836922 | 2009-12-06 05:55:00 | That can be tricky. Looks like adsweep can block ads (its a crx or js file). BUT you have to install the dev version of chrome. Since it supports extensions properly. Or use something like privoxy, but this can leave squares on the screen (where its blocked the ads) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 836923 | 2009-12-06 06:23:00 | Why not go to the stable version of FF 3.5.5 instead of the beta then addblock will work | gary67 (56) | ||
| 836924 | 2009-12-06 09:23:00 | Not sure whether or not this will work for you but anyway: An adblock extension for Google Chrome: www.chromeextensions.org Bonus: FlashBlock for Chrome – Blocks Flash Elements On Webpages: www.chromeextensions.org Double bonus: gPDF – Open PDF Links Directly In Google Docs Viewer: blog.arpitnext.com |

| 836925 | 2009-12-06 17:15:00 | However in order to run those Extensions you *must* be using the -dev build 4.0 at the moment: www.google.com You can also try OpenDNS, as it's been known to make a difference: chillingsilence.wordpress.com |

| 836929 | 2009-12-06 18:15:00 | Thanks, guys. If only Chrome was as, user friendly, as Firefox wouldn't have a problem. Been using Firefox since the early days and I use it all the time, but Facebook doesn't like it. Any ideas how I can "tune" Firefox so it'll play with Facebook? Thanks, Ian. |

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH So in Chrome if you click the Wrench up the top-right, then click About Google Chrome, it'll show 4.0.249.25 then, correct? If not, you've not go the latest Dev version and you need to download from the link I provided you. Then, try something such as this: www.chromeextensions.org You can find a ton of useful extensions at chromeextensions.org |
