I agree - I really like Chrome (and Opera, for what it's worth) and I can generally cope with the normal ads on most sane web sites these days.
But some sites go over the top and a few minutes of looking at flashing, flickering, CPU-hogging dross like one British forum I regularly visit (two large Flash banners at the top of the page, one down the side and one large square Flash ad, often an auto-playing video, in the first post of each page) is enough to send me scuttling back to Firefox. If someone developed a Chromium add-on that did the same thing as Adblock, I wouldn't look back.
(I normally unblock the ads on sites I use regularly and value - provided they don't abuse my eyes with videos and those flashing "YOU'VE WON A CAR!" images.)

I don't disable popup blocking for anyone. I thought IE8 had it enabled so it was a little strange ... first unwanted popups in years. Blah blah blah, ... as you were.
