Chrome's set of extensions is growing rather large, and at least |
| 45 |
contains most of what anyone would need, a bit short of 'want', but |
| 46 |
covers needs fairly well. If you don't like chrome's interface I'll |
| 47 |
not argue, but if the extensions are the one thing stopping you from |
| 48 |
giving it a real try... |

Not quite NoScript, but aims to do the job: |

Flashblock: |

Adblock: |

The biggest reason I've taken to using chrome, though, is that it |
| 60 |
seems (purely subjective) to render pages far faster than anything |
| 61 |
else I've used, though I've not run opera or safari in a very long |
| 62 |
time. |
