You should post which actual addons you use, otherwise it is spam. If you're too lazy you can make an screenshot of FF's Addons window

Nope. Advertisement is a way of getting information. I think it's necessary to some extent. Of course,I'm annoyed of porn and spam advertisements.
Once upon a time,I ran a website. Main incoming was due to advertisements, it's hard to make money

really hard experience... Feel for others.

I admire your determination. Webmasters need the ad revenue, after all.

+ Polipo installed

That's why I love Firefox: A good browser in itself, open source, stable and fast (although not the fastest), and highly customizable.

How could I get same features and security level with Chrome, or even Iron and Opera ??

Ps:
I wonder witch is really the best on a security point of view: Polipo or Privoxy ?? Polipo is known to be faster (as caching proxy), and I have read that Privoxy could not manage http1.1 (although I don't entirely understand what are the implications of this fact, because I don't know exactly what http 1.1 do with respect to http 1.0). In fact, I have chosen Polipo mostly because TorProject switched from Privoxy to Polipo.

If I remember correctly, Privoxy was safer but slower, while Polipo was faster but leaked more stuff without specific settings. I haven't checked the latest Tor bundles so I couldn't tell whether those are already implemented "from the factory".

The difference between HTTP 1.0 and 1.1 are basically persistent connections. For example, if I don't support v1.0 and want to visit a site with 9 images, I must make 10 connections, one per each resource. But by supporting v1.1, I can make 4 - one for the HTML document and three others to grab the images in groups of three. (3*3+1=10) This puts a lot less load on Web servers.
