Thanks Tek

I have been enjoying 'playing' with the features and reading up on Opera, and forgot to come and update regarding Block It and an optimized ad blocking script (load time). Seems to be a great deal better in performance than other browsers I've used as well. No issues yet with anything... I might be an Opera convert.
Regarding Chrome, if you're anything like me and actually read eula/tos then you know why I wont use Chrome, among a few other reasons. Security with Chrome for me has nothing to do with hacking/malware from outsiders, it's that I don't trust Google. I know I'll get flamed for that, but I just have no reason to trust them (and I prefer not to debate the legitimacy of my paranoia
).
