What are favorite ad and popup blockers these days. Somehow I managed to uninstall all mine on Chrome and I don't remember what I used.
I just use the AdBlock extension to Chrome.
Ghostery is also useful for blocking trackers.
My essential extensions (Firefox and Chrome) are:
AdBlock - everybody knows what that is
Ghostery - tracker blocking
Lazarus - saves text box input so you don't have to retype if a post fails or you accidentally delete it before posting.
LastPass - Password management
And gmail stuff.
Ghostery was slowing down my load times
Oh my God, I need Lazarus.
It is a revelation. I love it.
Lazarus is a must have. There's that great feeling when you've lost the greatest post that ever been posted in the history of the Internet and then remember you have Lazarus and bring it back with a click.
Toddson, I hope you got resolution. Apple is usually pretty good about that stuff; they sent my Airbook off for repair for a pre-agreed $280 price if they could repair it, no charge if they couldn't. They had it for 2.5 weeks, which is kind of long, and when I picked it up they didn't charge me. And they had replaced a bunch of shit on it.
I wonder how this would work for people who are backing up stuff in the apple and windows world. [link]
