Ad Blocker for Chrome

ScriptSafe (notscript prior, think it went defunct) and adblock for chrome.

I used to run noscript and adblock edge under firefox, and still do as I 
had to stop using chrome|chromium for destabilizing my system and/or 
consuming 30gb of memory at a time under ubuntu.

Even under windoze back to early 2000's through now, between 
no|notscript and adblock, never got viruses and whatnot from drive-by 
infection vectors.

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.
