AFAIK there is no real adblock / privacy filter for it.
So much mis-information in this thread I don't know where to start, but this is a good place.
There are java script blockers, flash blockers, add blockers, social media tracking blockers... even Google specific blockers.
Indeed there is no way to block elements before they are downloaded,
100% wrong.
The AdBlock for Chrome (the most likely extension you'd install to block ads) *used* to just hide the ads. As of version 2.0 of AdBlock prevents the ads from being downloaded... version 2.0 was released quite a while ago. Sadly the initial impression from the early 1.x releases are fixed firmly in the collective memory and most people still think that "there is no way to block elements before they are downloaded" (ie a LOT of people still think this is the case).
