AdSweep.crx extension for Chrome

[calande]

Hello,

The AdSweep.crx extension for Chrome is ready for those of you who use the dev-channel. To install the extension, close Chrome, open the command prompt, go to the directory where you have your Chrome installation (where chrome.exe resides), and type:

chrome.exe --install-extension="C:\path\to\AdSweep.crx"

Then, open the properties of your Chrome shortcut, remove your current command flags and use this one instead:

--enable-extensions

You can start Chrome and access chrome-ui://extensions/ to see AdSweep listed. Then you can access a web site that is famous for having lots of ads (e.g. http://digg.com)
Enjoy!

You welcome! Yes, I packed this extension yesterday, with a few problems in the beginning because there are a few synthax errors in the Chrome Extensions documentation, but I found out and the extension works as expected

It is a javascript (userscript) but it can also be a NPAPI plugin read more at:

Adsweep is working great with Chrome Beta (2.0.169.1). But I noticed today that legitimate popups seem to be disabled. At least at one site, if I click on the picture, Chrome does not open a new window with a larger version of the picture.

Any ideas? Is this site specific? Adsweep specific? or Chrome specific?
