It seems some people just can’t wait for Chrome to get their extension system up and running.

One thing that has stopped many people from switching to Google’s Chrome browser is the lack of support for extensions. Those handy little pieces of code that allow you to get your browser to do things it wasn’t built to do originally have been one of the staples for Firefox and its popularity.  Amongst the most popular of the Firefox extensions is one named AdBlock Plus that allows you to browse Web sites without seeing their ads, so once the Chrome extension engine released, it was just assumed that an ad blocker would be one of the first extensions out there door.

Why wait?

AdSweep has come up with a way for you to run their extension in Chrome right now, athough it takes several steps and some work on your part.  Even with all of that in consideration, it is an interesting commentary on how much some people really hate online ads that they would go through this much work to block them.  Personally they’ve never bothered me, but it seems those that are bothered by them are REALLY bothered by them.

If you’ve got the guts, you can give AdSweep a try, but expect to put in some work.
