Installing this extension is as easy as clicking the big Install button on its page and then click Install when Chrome asks you whether you really want to install the extension.

You still need to go to Chrome extension website right? It's not that when you go to a website that has FB connect, the Chrome asks if you want to block it or not. That would be effective though.

FWIW, you do not need to go the Chrome extension website to install an extension. It can be hosted by a 3rd party via a simple link on any website.

Yes, I get your point, but if you take an example of CNN, they are not going to have a link to disable FB Connect.

Right. But they aren't going to have an explanation on how to block FB connect with your firewall, so it's not really a disadvantage of an extension.
