I don't know about Chrome, but I hear it's good too. With firefox you can get also get "Add-ons" like NoScript which seriously limits Java badnasties getting onto your puter, and also AdBlock and AdBlock plus, which I heard about on another thread here. With that you can actually block both ads in general and specific pictures etc which you either dislike or are offensive or distracting. Like say I had an avatar you didn't like for whatever reason, you can choose not to see just that one picture. Maybe it sounds trite, but some of the very blinky gifs can really bother my eyes. With this, I can just affect my viewpoint without bothering other folks. Mostly though, I don't have to see trashy advertising wherever I go on the web! WIN
