Linked by Jordan Spencer Cunningham on Tue 17th Mar 2009 23:02 UTC
Google 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.

...The reason people bother with adblocking is because ads are really bothering them. OSNews is an example of a site with non-intrusive ads (imo), had this been the norm on the web then I believe extensions like adblock plus etc would never have become widely used (perhaps never even existed). Same goes for noscript and flashblock.
...

There's an easier and much more effective, long term, way...IGNORE those sites.
