I've been increasingly frustrated over the last few weeks because Chrome has had a consistent delay when opening new tabs. It would take a second or two for each tab to load before I could do anything (including scrolling the current one). I'm usually opening 4 or 5 tabs at once, which was starting to drive me crazy with the waiting.

I finally tracked it down to the AdBlock extension. Whatever it was doing was taking time to process on the tab, and I noticed an immediate effect when I disabled it. This is up to (and including) the current version 8 of Chrome.

I recommend using AdThwart, which doesn't seem to have the same slow down for me, instead of AdBlock.
