I used to run Flashblock but gave up on it when I found that it became
too much of a chore to selectively enable Flash when I needed to see
something in Flash. Unfortunately, many of our clients seem to think
that Flash is the greatest thing since sliced bread and use it
extensively. We use Javascript extensively on many of the sites we build
so disabling JS isn't an option either.

I've been using Google Chrome on Windows and it rarely goes off into the
weeds and when it does, it's as advertised, just the one tab. If, or
more likely, when, it offers some decent developer tools, like Firebug,
I'll be all over it.
