    Le gasp, with the latest version of Chrome, there are "extensions"! (*cough* Adblocker *cough*)

    https://chrome.google.com/extensions/de ... o?hl=en-US

    And like in Firefox, you can now add "#div(brand-mamabar)" (without the quotes) to the "Global filters:" box along with subscribing to EasyList for blocking ads, including the annoying Nick bar.

    This could very well get me to switch main browsers due to the sheer speed of Chrome, though until they have a version of Greasemonkey that works as well as GM (yeah, yeah, I know Greasemetal exists, but I never bothered to get it working =P) I'm still going to have some loyalty to Firefox.

    Very good addition to my main browser, will start semi-legit RSing again now!
    Probably will use it more on other sites that have annoying ads =P

    Instead of tabbing to the most recent tab, it tabs to the right

    Out of curiosity... If it has a tab system.

    Can you scroll between tabs using the mouse wheel? Firefox does :p That's my favorite perk for legit restocking :)

    Can't give that up...
