AdThwart

AdThwart drastically reduces the number of annoying and invasive ads you see. This makes browsing the web less taxing on both your computer and your sanity.
The included filter list, EasyList, is continuously updated by the community and AdThwart uses the latest version. So you can just install and forget it.

Important: AdThwart does not actually access your history and private data!

That warning is generated by Chrome for all extensions that interact with browser tabs, whether or not they access any private data. AdThwart cannot prevent this message from being displayed. Please see the FAQ, linked below.

New in 0.3.3: Most ads will be not be shown instead of being displayed for a moment. Custom filters can now be edited as raw text, making it easy to import and export them by copying and pasting.

Linux users: The current beta of Chrome on Linux has a bug that prevents AdThwart’s popup menu from appearing. It has been fixed by Google in the latest

Chromium nightly build: http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-linux/

The ability to choose filter lists is coming soon. This will improve AdThwart’s functionality for non-US users.
