The reason I like adblock for Firefox is that it saves my laptop downloading and processing things it doesn't need.

Currently adblock for chrome just uses CSS tricks to hide the adverts, which can be easily circumvented by the authoer. Either way it just means more processing for my poor old laptop. Chrome might be faster and have a slight edge on saving my battery, but it doesn't make up for the horrors adverts (and particularly flash) do to a laptop battery.
