I'm in a lose/lose situation at the moment.

I was a long term user of Firefox but recently it has become unstable, and
crashes running such things as Will It Rain Today.

So I switched to Chrome as my default browser.

However AdBlock Plus in Chrome isn't as effective as it is in Firefox -
although I seem to have a Pop-up Addon in Firefox which I can't currently
find for Chrome.

I have a simple test - Met Office 5 day weather forecast shows a banner ad
under Chrome but not under Firefox.

So is there something which will bring Chrome up to the level of Firefox
for ad blocking?

Is there something for IE?

Currently on Vista 32 bit.

Cheers
