I've been a die-hard Firefox user since way back when it was called Phoenix (that was before Firebird) and I can't stand browsing the web without my beloved AdBlock. But Chrome is changing things; it does (almost) everything Firefox does!
- AdBlock: Now on Chrome. "Blocks ads all over the web."
- AutoPager: Works in Chrome. "Automatically loads the next page of a site inline when you reach the end of the current page for infinite scrolling of content."
- Find-As-You-Type: There's an extension for that. "Find text or links as you type."
- FlagFox: Better on Chrome. "Displays country or region name, Google PageRank, Alexa Rank and WOT information for the websites you're visiting."
- Ghostery: Coming soon to Chrome. "Alerts you about the web bugs, ad networks and widgets on every page on the web."
- Greasemonkey: Mostly good in Chrome. "Allows you to customize the way a webpage displays using small bits of JavaScript."

Youc ould use opendns to accomplish some of this . Then it wouldn't really matter if the plugin or extension worked. :)
I do use OpenDNS, and I love it... that plus DD-WRT pretty much covers my network setup. I've found that AdBlock gets some things that OpenDNS doesn't, and it's pretty essential whenever I leave home as well.
Speaking of Find As You Type, I've been posting this info wherever I can find threads on it:
If you want to have this feature (find as you type/FAYT) ENABLED IN CHROME BY DEFAULT, go to
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=150 and read #4 for why it's not.
Then star ( = vote for) the issue, tell everyone who wants FAYT enabled by default to star it, and install tokland's extension as an awesome workaround for the time being: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/cpecbmjeidppdiampimghndkikcmoadk
Also, please join my group on LinkedIn, start a Facebook group, tweet about it, or do something to spread the word: http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=3111816&trk=myg_ugrp_ovr
