Chromium Browser Vs Google Chrome

[Michael Butash]

Just search firefox add-on's for aforementioned plugins/extensions.

I ran noscript and adblock plus for most early 2000's while still using 
windoze and managed to avoid ever getting infected with driveby's or 
other.  Just don't get lazy and unblock scripting for "everything", only 
whitelist what you absolutely know is safe and need.

Challenge comes with most sites that use ad-revenue, and try to bang 
your browser with includes from 20 sites, where you never know which is 
the actual content you need to allow scripting to make their site work.  
I call them crap/malicious websites and just refuse to use those anyway 
until their dev's divine a clue.  They're usually the ones that infect 
you anyway, as even they don't know who's feeding what content, 
malicious or not, trying to grab a buck.
