Cheers for the link Nicky - it explains why I have multiple instances of chrome.exe very well

Main problem for me is there's no adblock. Has to be the best addon for FF and something I really miss when forced to use IE at work.

Its open source so if some developers take it on I am sure things like that will appear

IE7 all the way. Does everything I need and it's damn easy to use. I didn't like the way FF did tabs and favourites so got shot. Also tried Safari and Opera for a bit. Safari was quite nice and I would use that if I had to have something else. IE8 is on it's way too, it even has a 'porn' mode.

If you use google's software they collect information about you.

Im sure that in reality all companies do and as 99% of your life is online somewhere then does it really matter nowadays?

Just found its built in spell checker - very useful! Highlights incorrectly spelt words just like Word does!

+1

Adblock Plus and Firefox are perfect partners. There's nothing wrong with that combination that would make we want to change.
