Since you have to check it anyway before uploading ...

Yes, you can. I've been wanting to make my own for a while now but never found the time for it.

Anyway, back to topic...

It appears that chrome stores passwords unencrypted and ie9 has some sort of anti-malware protection built in.

I had to rebuild an old PC this week to give myself a basic computer.  Cooked out my previous rig and am trying to troubleshoot it and build a new one.  Yaddayadda.

So, I had a Dell GX 260 sitting around.  It's a 1.8 GHz P4 running w/ a 400 MHz bus and 1 GB DDR RAM running @266 MHz.  Installed on an old 20 GB Seagate drive on 100 UDMA controller.  Put WinXP pro on it and tweaked it down lean ... approx. 3.6 GB install after SP3 and all current patches applied.  Runs at ~130 MB of memory before installing avast! AV on it ... and now it idles along at ~155 MB, 1-2% CPU use, 23 processes before I launch any apps.

Not a bad system at all for web surfing, email ... will put Open Office on it and a number of other utilities and keep it around for most of my web activities.  Probably even use it as my print server to help keep my other systems lean & clean when they are finally built & healthy again.

Anyway, so I went with a spanking fresh install of FireFox 5 and Chrome 12.  Will play more with them over time, but I'm very impressed with how lean firefox is running.  I can crank open 25 tabs or so, some pretty flash-heavy, and my memory use goes up to 500-600 MB.  Some pages load slowish and with a bit of clunk, but I've got teh headphonics on cranking the WinAmp w/ flacs and jumping all over the internets, with avast! cranked up pretty high, and the system is digesting it nicely.

Gotta give props out to the new FireFox: it's eating some interwebz and asking for more.  The older versions, back around 3.0* & 3.5-ish woulda' had some bellyfull and be bringing my poor old (2002!) system to its knees.

I'm really liking how slim I made the toolbars.  Love the menu bar hidden until you tap the ALT key ... man that really cleans it up some.  Also digging the Private Browsing session ... wanted that from the first time I found it in Chrome.

Gonna addon some ad-blocker and flash blocker and I'm certain it'll feel like downhill skiing on the back of a dinosaur.

Tab Utilities addon and Adblock Plus are the only addons I use at the moment. I love both of them! Tab Utilities is great to stack rows of tabs and it also separates your Pinned Tabs and the regular Tabs.
