been a chrome fan since chrome came out. I liked FF but habit kept me on chrome.. until they announced the upcoming extension updates, combined with the youtube nonsense, and the fact that ublock works better with firefox than chrome.. they finally pushed me out. And im perfectly happy with firefox.

One of the things that bugs me a bit, google was the one who first started the entire, lets get rid of the annoying ads thing. The net was getting a bit nuts with noisy and moving ads and google came out and did the text ad thing. I tend to give them exceptions in my ad blockers because i only want to block that which annoys me. So instead of keeping me on their product while making exceptions for their ads, they pushed me to another product.
