I thought that was only the chrome version, since google does not want to implement features to allow adblockers to stop requests.

Firefox does support it, and I know that in the past adblock did stop the requests rather than hide elements.

Chrome has added an API to block requests: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/webRequest
