Anyone who IS NOT running FireFox with AdBlock Plus and NoScript is a very silly person indeed.

These two very necessary plug-ins neatly solve the cookie problem, and they insure that unless you otherwise allow them, flash/javascript/anything crap simply does not run. So no worries about getting a nasty virus through a malformed bit of Flash.

Funny, I have not noticed this. The XP machine on which I am typing this seems to run about the same as it did when it was new. And the apps I run are fairly processor-intensive (FPGA fitter/synthesis/simulation, etc) and slowdowns would be apparent.

Methinks you believe in conspiracies.
