After a bit of a learning curve I am glad to say that after using the Chromium Browser by Google (Part of its Chrome OS) I will be making the switch. Aside from ongoing performance issues on my EEE

Originally I was concerned about giving up AdBlock Plus and NoScript but there is a greater solution for systemwide and network level security. I will be using the AdBlock for DD-WRT script, blocking out ads before they even reach a system on my network. A similar hosts configuration file will be kept on my systems for when I access a network operated by anyone else. It is a simple process in Ubuntu/ChromeOS of adding a terminating redirect in the "/etc/hosts" file.

My post about Network level adblocking has been moved here: http://www.kurtismccartney.com/adblockhost

As I was saying, Chrome/Chromium makes better use of my limited visual space on my original EEE and has consistently greeted me with a positive user experience. Any of the hesitations that I had have been moved around to other pieces of technology.
