Chrome's set of extensions is growing rather large, and at least contains most of what anyone would need, a bit short of 'want', but covers needs fairly well. If you don't like chrome's interface I'll not argue, but if the extensions are the one thing stopping you from giving it a real try... Not quite NoScript, but aims to do the job: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/odjhifogjcknibkahlpidmdajjpkkcfn?hl=en Flashblock: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/gofhjkjmkpinhpoiabjplobcaignabnl?hl=en Adblock: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom?hl=en The biggest reason I've taken to using chrome, though, is that it seems (purely subjective) to render pages far faster than anything else I've used, though I've not run opera or safari in a very long time. -- Poison [BLX] Joshua M.
