    Lol! Yeah, I'm sure you'll be pretty sick after applying some new skins on your box... What about snake skins? Or monkey skins?

    NoScript
    There are manual block list to be found on the internet that works pretty much like adblock (although I haven't figured out how to regain the 'wasted' space yet). I use one of them, it's pretty great.

    As for NoScript, never heard of it.

    Before techieMoe mentioned it, the only place I saw it was those CUI-browsers asking to execute or kill the different scripts... It was probably secure, but in some cases, extremely annoying.

    Firefox is good for an opt-in attitude. Extensions like NoScript assume everything is dangerous until you say it's safe. Likewise, Flashblock blocks all flash from playing until you press play. I just find Firefox offers you greater control over things. Cookie management in Firefox is just about as specific as you want it to be.
