I get so frustated when I see some, no may be lots of ads that blocks my viewing in the Chrome.
So when I change it to Firefox, still I got same results.
Even, now when I am writing this thread, I still can see 2 or 3 ads blocking the screen in different parts.
As I generally use Chrome, I got an extension that provides the blocking of ads BUT may be now I am thinking that this is useless.
So can anyone help me in this matter?

Well, paste this in your navigation bar:
chrome://extensions/
and this:
chrome://plugins/
Disable the stuff that you're SURE that you don't use, leave Java, Flash, Silverlight.. activated, but disable other programs that you find useless, that could be making your browser slower.

Which extension are you using?
I don't swing the google way, i have lots of reasons for that, but i won't mention them here.
But I LOVE firefox, and my firefox ESR has "Adblock Plus" extension installed.
Firefox doesn't show me ANY advertisements when I have adblock plus enabled.
If you plan to switch to firefox (i really hope you would), you can use the AdBlock Plus extension.
If you plan to keep using chrome, see if there's AdBlock Plus available for Chrome.

In all the 4 most known browsers (chrome, firefox, opera and IE) you can find a version of the Adblock. It's a bit sad to use as some people in the internet receive their money from the ads, but I do agree that in some cases it's sooo annoying to have ads everywhere, including pop-ups.

To make downloads faster, try using download accelerator plus.
To make page loading faster, disable pictures auto loading, and disable flash.
You can also try disabling javascript but i wouldn't suggest doing that as disabling javascript breaks some web pages.
Firefox has an e xtension "fasterfox" that makes page loading faster in firefox even with pictures and flash enabled, see if you can find that for chrome.
