Jim, I'll mainly comment on 3)
Statistics from the Firefox add-ons site (ordered by popularity) .. #1 *Adblock Plus: 926,549 weekly downloads* #2 Coral IE Tab: 105,047 weekly downloads #3 Download Flash and Video: 60,397 weekly downloads ie. Adblock Plus is very popular (almost 1 million downloads a week) and many times more popular than any other FF add-on. I don't know whether it is used by the core set of Xubuntu users - but, given it's general popularity, it might. Adblock Plus improves responsiveness and speed very significantly on some sites. I feel that Chrome is still an immature product. In a year or 2, it will be more mature and easier to compare against its competition. I think it is good to have it in the Ubuntu repositories, though, so people can try out the Linux version easily and monitor its progress. I will be. Just one opinion.
