SRWare Iron, unlike Google Chrome, has a real ad blocker which can block ads instead of only hiding them. You can add domains to its adblock.ini file which you want to block.
Fanboy who creates lists for both ABP and Opera maintains a list for Iron too: You can download it here: http://www.fanboy.co.nz/adblock/iron/ You will however need to manually update it from time to time. From my use of the list in Opera, I can tell that updating the file once a month is fine. Since I don't use Iron mention how this works for you. If you know any other list which exists for Iron please mention here. |

sa1, thanks for the information. I'm really sorry that I can't find the link which had the bit about the Chrome blocker only hiding ads but still downloading them. If my memory is right, the article went on to claim that a genuine ad blocker would never be availalble for Chrome since Google's revenue lies in ads
![]() Nice to know that the modified Chrome does the needful. |

A genuine ad blocker wouldn't really hurt Google because so few people will download it. (As long as advertising doesn't exceed acceptable limits. Or has it already? I don't know since I haven't seen ads for long.) |
