I’ve been looking forward to a good adblocker once extension support is a little more mature. Here’s one I found that seems to not be supported any more: (http://www.adsweep.org). It seems like it would be pretty straightforward to write at least a user script to load the css from floppymoose and probably not too much more to make an extension if desired. Not quite the same as auto-loading, but not a terrible solution. I’m pretty sure extensions and user scripts are on by default in the dev channel at least.

I don’t guess I’ve ever had the problem with the trailing slash. Maybe it’s actually doing a web search and I just don’t notice, but if it looks like a url it usually tries to load it. Of course if that fails it will search.

I don’t really use proxies so that hasn’t bothered me, but I have a similar gripe about ssl certificates. We use custom and self-signed certs at work and while it’s pretty streamlined on windows since it just launches the windows gui, it’s a whole other beast on linux. I had to install new packages, create special files in special places, then restart and hope it worked. I know there’s a lot to be said for not reinventing the wheel, but when the alternative is trudging through the mud sometimes you need a new wheel.

p.s. I guess comments aren’t intended to be this long since I only get 4 lines in this box.

p.p.s. My biggest gripe of the day is that you need some OAuth or something so I don’t have to type strange words that I can hardly read every time I want to post a comment ;)
