.. that and NoScript.

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.

Agree. I have a alot of fun add-ons, but I need my AdBlock. The internet just looks funny with all those adds.

How 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.

CreamMonkey 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.

I wasn't talking about CreamMonkey. I was talking about GreaseKit.

GreaseKit used to be CreamMonkey. Its still an Input Manager.

GlimmerBlocker is a nice ad-blocker for OS X that works across browsers. I'll let the website do the explaining: http://glimmerblocker.org/

IMHO, these guys need to do some more marketing.

That'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.

How will Google make money if they roll out ABP for Chrome? It is same as Microsoft trying to make money by rolling out a Linux distro.

You're in the small minority. Even amongst Firefox users last time I measured only 6% or so used ad block plus.

SRWare's Iron is Chrome with all the privacy-compromising stuff turned off. It also has adblocking similar to ABP via an adblock.ini file in the installation directory.

khm ad muncher khm. Basic procedures: download, install, open configuration, options -> filter targets -> add chrome, now you have an adless lightspeed web. Happy surfing!

I'm actually looking for somehing a lot simpler: vi/Emacs keybindings and a better mouseless browsing experience in general.

EDIT: Sorry, I'm looking for such features in Chrome.

I use the Mouseless Browsing add-on in Firefox. It basically adds a number next to all the links on a page, for example you press ctrl + 21 and the link opens. It also can be turned on/off with a shortcut.

I could never get myself to use that; it's possibly because I refuse to remap one control key to the caps lock.

I usually navigate by searching for some substring of the link.

Have you tried the Firemacs extension for Firefox? I use it with Emacs bindings, but I think it should be able to do an approximation of vi bindings as well.

I'm really sorry for not making myself clear: I meant that I would start using Chrome if it had such a feature.

And yeah, Firemacs is awesome. As a matter of fact, it does allow for navigation using some vi bindings by default. Even though I'm an Emacs guy, I find using hjkl a lot more comfortable than C-b C-n C-p C-f. I've heard great thing about vimperator, too.

Pfft. I can (and do) easily cope without Ad Block Plus, but until there's a Vimperator alike Chrome won't get a look in for me..

ditto, the lack of Ad Block is the only reason why I haven't opened Chrome since trying it out.

I get by with http://www.privoxy.org/

Adblock is better but privoxy helped me to change. Only open Firefox(which in comparison takes like ages) for development.
