I had to use the wife's computer the other day and use Internet Explorer for the first time in months. I feel like I am on Windows 95 it is so archaic.

hahaha word to that man. I've been using Chrome since it was in Beta and I've never even thought about going back.

I got Joe Rogan to try out Chrome the other day too via twitter because he was complaining about how FF was being buggy and a memory hog

Chrome's Adblock Plus isn't as functional as the Firefox version, which is the only reason I've stayed with Firefox over Chrome. The Chrome version doesn't block ads until after they've loaded, while the Firefox version will block them before loading. That's the whole reason I use an ad blocker; I don't want them loading at all.

Uhhh, mine does? I'm using AdThwart.

Also, let me reiterate this: USE A HOSTS FILE!

^^^and edit the file manually to block ad servers individually? seems like a lot of work to me, haven't done that since 2001.
