Is there any difference between Chrome and Chromium for performance? Or is the only difference one doesn't have the auto-updater?

There are a couple of extensions that use EasyList for filtering ads out already. |

AFAIK, the only difference is the auto-updater and the Google branding. |

Well, I still can't really use Chrome comfortably for two related reasons:
A) it doesn't remember zoom settings. Its important to me because at home I use a 26 inch monitor at high resolution and I like to sit a bit back from the behemoth. Since changing font size doesn't fix everything on any given website, I like to have the browser zoomed at 125% or so. Chrome doesn't keep this as a sticky setting, while IE and Firefox do.
B) If you do zoom in, some flash player functionality is lost. The dailyshow flashplayer, for example, can't be 'controlled' if you have the page at anything other than normal zoom. This isn't an issue with IE or Firefox either.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Every time I end up switching back to firefox from chrome/chromium because of some key addons like others have highlighted (noscript, modify headers, foxyproxy, syncplaces, igoogle tab remover). Seriously the tab is annoying and no way to remove it via options, only extensions or greasemonkey scripts. Here's an example of it:
[/s] Wow there is a tab remover already here. With the move of extensions now in the stable builds hopefully most of the firefox extensions will be developed because its really nice. |

What's weird and kinda depressing is that one of the authors for an adblocker is claiming that anybody claiming to release a "real ad blocker" is full of shit since the way extensions work, you can't just block ads. I guess all they can do is not display them, but they still load I guess?

Yeah its all post render modifications, same for the igoogle tab blocker. It renders for a second then kills the div tag. |

That's basically the end of Chrome possibly becoming my default browser then. No real AdBlock plugin means Firefox forever I guess.

I remember hearing that threaded tabs will be in Firefox 4, but I can't find confirmation.

You could install a proxy to strip out the ads. |

Well that kinda seals the fate for now Eight months later, Chrome extensions are here but NoScript is not among them yet, and people are asking why. The reason is very simple: Chrome is still lacking the required infrastructure for selective script disablement and object blocking.
Maybe Google plans to implement the missing stuff later, maybe they’re still trying to figure out whether it can be done without enabling effective ad blocking, but in the meanwhile the pale AdBlock and FlashBlock imitations which have been hacked together by overwhelming popular demand, are forced to use a very fragile CSS-based hiding approach, ridiculously easy to circumvent. |
