Try Privoxy. A non-customised installation will kill most ads for about three minutes of work. If you then read some of the config info, creating custom filters is a cakewalk and voilà, you have an ad free Chrome.

...Telstra knows the other carriers cant get credit to actually build the damn thing without the government backing it.
I have a suggestion: how about we get the government to undertake a RFP process, so that the successful tenderer could take advantage of $4.7bn of government backing.
Oh, right...
I beg to differ.
Consider that the competitor may (yeah, I know, work with me) be able to provide a tender for a FTTH solution, as opposed to the rather short-sighted FTTN solutions bandied about. (Axia has been talking about FTTH for their bid.)
Suddenly there's no issue with Telstra - the whole legacy copper network is leapfrogged. Competition on pricing and/or quotas rages. Australia is future-proofed and Telstra has to come up with another (distinguishable) technology to stay in the game.
I realise this is not an overnight solution, but we should all be thinking further than ten years into the future. I am very hopeful that FTTH becomes a reality with the new Australian NBN, and now that Telstra is out, it's just that little bit more likely...
