How to Move Adblock From Firefox to Chrome
Abblock Plus is available for both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. If you're switching from Mozilla Firefox to Google Chrome, you can keep your custom Adblock filters by exporting them from Firefox and importing them into Chrome. The same filters that work in Adblock Plus for Firefox also work in Adblock Plus for Chrome. Both versions also support the same filter subscriptions, which automatically download advertisement-blocking filter lists from third parties.
