Try using TakeThis's advice, for starters and supplement it with Adblock , and Adblock shouldn't slow anything down as Waddler says

I use both AdBlock and Adblock Plus with Chrome as I wasn't sure which was best.

Never had any issues, or any adverts.

Another vote for Adblock here, it does exactly what it should.

Something I find even more infuriating - just about every website now has a pop up asking you if you would complete a survey :mad:

It shouldn't - after all it's blocking the download of third party content. If anything pages should load quicker.

I've just put it into my FF, and it does seem quicker.

(I'm sure I had the impression that it degraded over time, but I am happy to accept that I could be wrong.)
