In addition to the Chrome 2.0 beta, work for the Linux version of Chrome is on its way. Its official name is currently "Chromium," and Google Chrome for Linux doesn't officially exist yet. For the sake of argument, however, Google Chrome for Linux is on its way whether it's currently in a Chromium and pre-alpha state or not, and now Ubuntu users can get a hold of Chromium to take for a spin. In this article, learn how to install the current build of Chromium to test on your Ubuntu or Ubuntu-based system and see several screenshots of the budding browser.

I'm not sure you do see where he's coming from...how about ignoring THE SITE? (one with obnoxious ads)
The way many people browse with adblock can actually make things worse...they don't see over-the-top ads, so they don't mind (don't even know...) promoting (through traffic/linking) such sites, at the possible expense of sites with good ad habits.
PS. But if adblock is your main concern...it is widely ignored that Opera, for example, also has this capability (built in, no plugins, you just have to provide it with a list...):

According to my buddy who moved from FF to Opera it works just as well as Adblock Plus lists when it comes to blocking; and the style works slightly better when it comes to hiding "empty spots".
