Chrome

I've been playing around a bit today with Chrome, Google's new browser. But while it is a nice implementation of the tabbed browser concept, with (according to its explanatory comic) all sorts of nifty and desirable features, there is one absolute deal-breaker for the moment: no adblock. Which means that for the first time in years, I saw how cluttered and ugly and overwhelmed most webpages are with advertising. How the hell do the adblock-less people cope?

Screw that. I'm sticking to Firefox, at least until they have real plugin capability and someone has ported over a useful ad-killer.
