I may give it a shot and see how the ol' FF handles an adless world... if it gives me a few extra days at least, it'll be worth it. Huh, you raise an interesting point.

The truth is that even slashdot is host to animated or interactive flash ads. I dont know if its a memory leak or what, but a few dozen tabs open with a flash ad or two (and animated gifs) in each over a few days can really add up.

They both seem to be ad blockers - do they tag team better than they do individually? Or did I misunderstand SAFT? My problems with Firefox all are related to how sluggish it gets over time. After a couple days (or sometimes much less) it just bogs down - opening a new browser requires many, many seconds before you can even start typing in the URL bar, page rendering is slow, etc... Eventually it either crashes or I have to force quit it (because a regular quit never works for me anymore). Sucks, because that's pretty much my only complaint - if it just stayed snappy (or as snappy as FF ever is) the whole time, I'd be a happy camper. Know? You having different issues?

That can be found here: http://haoli.dnsalias.com/index.html Neither of these is a developer-ey type thing but makes life a bit easier from the end-user browser side of things. I too have been finding myself more and more in Safari lately. Firefox seems to have gotten very unstable for me. I was thinking it was just me...what kind of issues are you having?
