If you are thinking of NoScript there is an alternative called NotScripts that does a passable job for Chrome, but is not nearly as complete as NoScript. There are numerous other plugins that can all help with security for random browsing, too.
Chrome has come a long way in the last few releases.
I was thinking something similar. I'm a fairly smart guy and this went way over my head. I love math and the problems it can solve when used creatively. I've just never had the energy to pursue it to a level these (and other) researchers have.
That was to cover my ass for those anal types that would point to a Commodore 64 in active use today and say it doesn't include encryption. They're still "common" in some circles./shrug:p
Also worthy to note: nearly every OS in common use today includes some sort of encryption software. Might as well bar someone from using a computer completely.
All of this depends on your definition of "poor". According to some, if you make $50000 per year you are poor. According to others any household making under $100000 is poor. Then there are those that look at either number and classify people making that much to be rich.
If it is your primary machine and you dock it while at your desk, then that ethernet port can be very valuable. Running a network at 1 Gbit is a whole different experience than wireless g/n, especially if you have a lot of data to transfer for backups or synchronizing with your home/office server.
That's every six WEEKS, not months, and I would highly doubt "catching up with IE" is of any interest. Will you be singing that same tune when Chrome 16 comes out in one year (54 weeks)?
Not to mention there are many components to each, with each component progressing at its own pace. Google Chrome's "version" number is really a public release number.
If my doctor was that stupid I wouldn't listen to them either.
Walking in the sun for a few minutes send more radiation into your body than spending 8 hours at a computer. Should they ban playing in sunlight for the kids, too?
One thing/. could do to improve slightly would be to outright prevent AC from being the first poster for an article. That would mostly eliminate the "first post" crap.
What's funny is that some day soon (-ish or could already be argued true in some cases), huge multi-national companies will be more powerful than governments.
I can attest to this. There is a farm near me (as an example) where the grandfather (90+ years old) works just about as hard as his two sons, both 60+. None of the grandkids are interested as far as I can tell.
I don't think that's the problem at all. Companies have learned to do more with less... so why make things less efficient again before absolutely necessary? Adding employees is expensive, especially so if you don't have an immediate and profitable use for them.

They have this one for FlashGot: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/lfjamigppmepikjlacjdpgjaiojdjhoj
But I'm not sure about the other two.

Wood chipper, mortar and pestle, and a lot of patience. Or a freakishly huge needle.

I feel myself chanting "I'm not worthy."

Everything is relative, so to speak.

One can't simply go to a redbox pay $2 and get a copy of last summer vacation video.
Not yet, that is... :p
Yeah, because nobody ever runs Java applets on Windows...
Skeletal engineer then? :p

Amen to that. Coding & debugging C++ is like playing catch with a wet spiky squid.

Chuck Norris?
I forgot to add... a CIA government car. The FBI tracking a CIA car would be an interesting one to explain.
The smart thing to do is to place it on another car, preferably a government car.

Obviously you've never been a farmer or lived near one.
Not for any longer than it takes to exit the channel.
Why not turn your iPod Touch into a web server?
