There are plenty of FireFox plugins I use (primarily FireBug, but Chrome has good debugging tools and it's only a matter of time before someone builds an equivalent of FireBug for Chrome).
AdBlock Plus and NoScript give me not only less junk but block an awful lot of attack vectors. I feel kinda vulnerable without NoScript.
Oh, and a full linux-build, please. I've tested Chrome on Windows and am impressed, but as long as there's not linux build I can't use it. OSX people probably feel the same way.
- unalone 18y agoHow hard is it to engineer scripts like that? Won't those come pretty quickly to Chrome? The OS X battlefield will be interesting because Safari is so prominent. If Apple/Webkit decide they want to compete with Chrome, they're in an excellent position to do so - and they already have Javascript disabling, ad blocking, and GreaseMonkey support in Safari, not to mention a browser that's incredibly fast.
- Zev 18y agoCreamMonkey support is provided by an Input Manager hack; they may go away in a future release of OS X and would need to be redone completely. A better alternative is to make a WebKit plugin with WebKit's API, see ClickToFlash.
- GeneralMaximus 18y agoGlimmerBlocker is a nice ad-blocker for OS X that works across browsers. I'll let the website do the explaining: http://glimmerblocker.org/ http://glimmerblocker.org/ IMHO, these guys need to do some more marketing.
- unalone 18y agoThat's the one I was talking about, yeah. On OS X ad blocking isn't such a big necessity since GlimmerBlocker does all of it no matter what browser.
- maarek 18y agoAgree. I have a alot of fun add-ons, but I need my AdBlock. The internet just looks funny with all those adds.
