Chrome Extensions

[AF]

All the epic win of firefox extensions, minus the memory hogging, minus the random pauses, minus the restarting on extension installation/updates, plus the speedy zippy fast UI, plus the fast webpage loading, plus the polish

As Ive always said, I wont use chrome, theres no adblock, well now there IS! and it pwns hard

funny how they didn't send me that e-mail i signed up for like a year ago >_>

I use over 70 extensions for Firefox. Can Chrome offer me such a selection?

[AF]

The only thing I can think of that is of any use not already provided for by chrome or its extensions is greasemonkey =/

Oh wait.. google chrome has native greasemonkey script support:

Thats the same build currently available for extensions too, Ive got all the greasemonkey scripts firefox had in chrome now! I just went to userscripts and clicked install, no extra steps

hehe, interestingly enough I just downloaded chrome the other day (yesterday) and installed adblock and xmarks as my first order of business.

I have noticed that there are a few ads that creep through, but they're mostly out of the way and non-intrusive. However, the adblock extension for firefox is definitely better, but chrome is fast enough I think to warrant a compromise.

I was pleasantly surprised at the ease of merging over all my personal preferences from firefox was as well. There are a few things that aren't compatible, but for the most part its the same as firefox but faster.

I'm testing out adthwart, noticed one or two adds on dustin curtis' blog and new scientist, otherwise..

This thread is called "Chrome Extensions" and all you are focusing on is this one adblock thing (I don't even use it for firefox and I have installed dozens of extensions).

They're focusing on Adblock because not having it available is a dealbreaker for them, regardless of any other party tricks chrome might have.

Waiting for NoScript...

Waiting for NoScript...

Ignore the privoxy answer and look to answer number 2

[Teutooni]

Heh, I guess pretty much all browsers with JS support can turn it off alltogether. NoScript makes the management easier with stuff like per domain temporary permissions, whitelists etc.

[AF]

well theres numerous threads with google engineers saying they want it in there pretty bad so its only a matter of time

[aegis]

noscript would be easysauce to write :/
should work just to remove all the script elements from a page iirc
document.getElementsByTagName('script'); then remove 'em

[imbaczek]

not that easy, you need to disable any scripts that are executed before DOM is done loading.

[aegis]

you don't need to wait for dom to finish loading before removing scripts. suppose you'd need to break javascript: as well.

[imbaczek]

well, if you want to use document.getElementByName, you're asking for <script> tags that have already been executed.

[AF]

obv didnt look at the theme site

Is there a link to a site containing Chrome extensions? I'd kinda like to browse around. I remembered using grease monkey in firefox for something semi-malicious, but I can't remember what. Otherwise I'd like adblock and downloadhelper equivalents. I kind of miss them.

Oh, also, stay the hell out of this thread tribulex, it's not about firefox.
