I was reminded again today why my primary browser is a Gecko-based browser.
I went to a Slashdot page and opened the AdBlock Plus sidebar after the page had
loaded.
It showed there were three ancillary items connected with the HTML page
that I had previously categorized as worth seeing/downloading.
There were TWENTY NINE items that I had already noted
weren't worth wasting bandwidth and/or screen space on.
Picking the right browser for the job can make life less of a drudge
--and **having an OS that supports the right browser for the job** can't be minimized.
...of course, the browser I was using in this instance
*would* have some trouble with the CSS3-heavy page referenced in the OP.
