Thanks. I took a look and the Chrome extension is basically the same as the greasemonkey script. Does anyone know if this is less efficient than the way Adblock Plus does it? If so, is it possible to do it more efficiently with a Chrome extension?
Yes, AdBlock is more efficient because it doesn't load the ads at all while Chrome/greasemonkey load and hide them. No, I don't think it can be more efficient because chrome extensions like greasemonkey scripts cannot modify the page before it is loaded.
I may be wrong, I had only a cursory look at the technology.
You're right, I don't know if this is enough (do you get hooks upon loading each resource, etc) but they are definitely working to implement this properly.
I agree. Chrome is just incredibly fast, and Firefox, on the three major OS's in my life, feels slow after a couple hours of use.
In practice, I always have at least 2 different browsers open, one of them usually Firefox, but Chrome is the fastest one, used for surfing, while FF for web-dev/management-y stuff.
