One of the bad sides of Chorme is that you can't block the ads. Flash advertisments that cover the whole page are a big pain for anyone. However there is a solution for this. It's called BFilter (click on the link for download) and it acts as a local proxy. Very configurable it can work for any brwser installed on your system. It can even import the AdBlock filter lists database.
BFilter is a filtering web proxy. It was originally intended for removing banner ads only, but since then its capabilities have been greatly extended. Unlike most of the similar tools, it doesn't rely on blacklists (although it does support them). The problem with blacklists is that advertisers are always one step ahead. You see an ad slip through, you update your blacklist, and in case it didn't help, you add a new entry yourself.
The result? A much nicer browsing.
Have fun !
P.S. It filters the Yahoo Mess adverts (no matter the version)
