I love the balance between customizability and security of FireFox

Yah try watching copyrighted material or listening to music on youtube, you'll be bombarded by ads.
Also check the front page, it has quite a bit of ads that don't get blocked automatically (that used to be blocked automatically).

Nope. Front page empty. Copyrighted material empty. Have you correctly configured EasyList? Also, as mentioned before, you can always manually add an ad domain (e.g. *doublecllick.com*) and it'll get rid of all ads from that domain.

I've tried, some of the ads ABP doesn't even recognize or they're embedded within the flv file that plays the videos.

ABP is not designed to block flash embedded ads (the ones that come within the FLV, if any), just ones from external ad servers like AdSense. According to the Wiki anyway.

Well it's been doing that for me for awhile.

I guess all the ones on hulu and such aren't embedded.

Also I reinstalled ABP and it seems to be working right again.

I tried all of them, and how can Internet Explorer be better than Safari? (obvious bias) Also, Chrome has mouse gestures ( https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail...olmmgnecgldgeld ) and private browsing (before any browser had it without using add-ons, Firefox added it after Chrome and based the code from an add-on). Also, Opera is a ton slower than Chrome. Chrome can open a page in a second, unless it's a really heavy page.

Chrome's private browsing (INCOGNITO MODE) is better than most browsers. First, if you open incognito mode, the previous window will remain, unlike FF, where the previous window is gone. That way, you can have a normal window and an incognito window open at the same time. (like Opera) Next, it disables all add-ons during the incognito browsing, but it is still available in a normal window. This is helpful because it eliminates the need to disable add-ons that record some tracks.

Opera is slightly over-rated here. First, it's torrent feature is very bad. It's slow and clunky. It also slows down internet speed considerably when compared to uTorrent and BitTorrent and other external torrent clients. Basically it's unreliable. Autofill is usable with add-ons in other browsers. Sometimes, it's even easier. (for example, Macros for Firefox) The New Tab page is also available in most other browsers (Speed Dial) as an extension. It's not the fastest easier (that's Chrome).

Does Chrome have a fully functional ad block plus add-on?

Nope. That's why Chrome is lacking in adblock support.
It claims it does, but all it really does is hide the ads so they still load and sometimes they even fail to hide.

Firefox here.
Whau...I could swear I just posted this in a very similar topic..............hmm.

Actually, Safari debuted Private Browsing first. Did I just phase everybody?

(I will have to agree that Chrome and Opera have the best implementation of porn mode private browsing though.)

Nobody touted (or touts, really) Opera's BitTorrent support at all.

I still agree with you completely though; it's quite bad. Besides, everybody also pretty much uses µTorrent or Transmission.

Cool add on's that allow file sharing right in the browser

I think that that's about the torrent feature.

Opera link and unite.

I still only use uTorrent for torrents.
And fine, sorry to all the Chrome users pointing out to me that there is private browsing.
Still doesn't change it's position.
(In my opinion)
