I was interested in his comment about Google AdSense causing problems. My preferred browser, Camino, has recently taken to long stalls when opening a fair number of pages (Wired is one, Boston.com is often another). Firefox opens these much faster. I wonder if Camino's engine is hanging on AdSense ads (though I can't say I've actually checked carefully to see if the offending pages actually have these ads, or any other common elements).

It's annoying enough that I may have to switch to Firefox for my browser.
