Hello LittleGrizzly,

Not sure: disabled it for now.

I am using Firefox and while I do see ads, I am not forced to any sites.

Very useful when at work or when little ones are running around nearby. Last thing I need is a locked redirect to some site

Generally software is like people. The unpopular ones don't get viruses.

So I'm sure that Safari should be fine too. Even though it is a very good browser, it isn't yet popular enough to make it into some sort of zombie browser.

Same here. Since I installed Firefox (with AdBlock and NoScript) I have no trouble whatsoever, wheresoever. Without this thread I wouldn't have noticed any change.
