Apple - Useful Chrome extensions for OS X
FlashBlock by josorek
No developer site listed
Description:
Sets up Chrome to default to blocking Flash content on webpages.
Pros:
Helps reduce download time and bandwidth usage since flash files aren't loaded by default.
Easy to adjust blocking filter to allow flash for entire sites via a button in the address bar.
Cons:
- Sometimes removes stuff without an easy way to add it back with the extension running.
AdBlock by chromeadblock.com
(The listed developer link just circles back to the extension URL.)
Pros:
Does a good job of preventing ads from showing up. Inspired by the Firefox Extension AdBlock Plus.
Helps reduce the time it takes for pages to render and bandwidth usage since ads don't have to download.
Cons:
- Some sites and/or features don't work with ads blocked.
