Hello all,
Thought I would share this with those that haven't yet seen it. There is a way, via script, to do the same thing Adblock Plus does, but at the hardware level, effectively blocking ads on the whole network. This is great for those who love Google Chrome, yet don't use it much due to it's lack of ad blocking. I have this running on my WRT54GL flashed with Tomato firmware and it works great! One less plugin I have to run in Firefox!

This particular lifehacker post is created with Tomato in mind, however, there's a script for those running DD-WRT down in the comment section.
Just to be clear, you MUST have a router, flashed with either Tomato(recommended) or DD-WRT firmware.
Block ads at the router level.
