Ad Blocker for Chrome

[Rusty Ramser]

Hmm.  I went out and found Poper Blocker specifically because I found Chrome's native management of that problem to be completely ineffective.  But since having the combination of AdBlock and Poper Blocker things have been sweet.  Hoping uBlock Origin does just as well in the combination.

I use a combination of adblock plus and chromes native popup management. so far its really been the most balance of no ad's or popups and functional.

Completely mucked up the Subject line.  AdBlock is, of course, an ad blocker not a pop-up blocker.

I currently use "Poper Blocker" (yes, that's the way it's spelled) for my pop-up blocker.  Anyone else use something different?  Any thoughts on whether what you use is superior to Poper Blocker or any of the other extensions available?

For those of you who use AdBlock for Chrome, if you're not aware it has just been sold from the long-time individual developer to an un-named company.  A lot of people feel that declining to name the company taking over the project is untrustworthy and a deal breaker.  Consensus from the intertubes appears to be that uBlock Origin (not just "uBlock") is the only option worth considering as a replacement.
