Submission + - Google Chrome now has resource-blocking adblock (google.com)

Using the "beforeload" event on the document, an extension can now intercept resources from loading. Adblock for Chrome has already added it, and I expect the other 'ad-blocking' extensions have as well. Before you start praising Google, however, its the WebKit team that deserves your credit; one chromium developer responded to praise by stating '... thank Apple — they added it to WebKit, we just inherited it.' Firefox vs Chrome just got a bit more exciting."
