Running on a 7 year old HTPC with 2gb ram edge feels extremely smooth compared to chrome.
They should do benchmarks on lower end systems, such as atom based tablets.

With that being said, I am genuinely curious how these 2 things are necessary for you to consider a browser. Are there extensions that I don't have that is crazy for me not to have?
My ad-blocker has been honed for the past 20 years I've been using the web. It's in my head. I just don't see banner-shaped animated objects anymore.
That said, I do block Flash for performance reasons, which also results in getting rid of the worst offenders. The day banners start using CSS animations or god forbid WebGL, I'll probably start blocking them outright.
I have very restricted list of sites which I think are good enough my attention and time.
p.s. and I spend 7 8 hour a day sitting and reading material and documents from net.
p.s-2. And I am okey with standard ads.Site owners has right to make living to, and I think using ads-blocker is selfish act.
Site owners have the right to make a living. They do not have a right to waste my bandwidth, damage my hearing, or compromise my security.
> I think using ads-blocker is selfish act
Perhaps, but it's a reaction to the considerably more selfish trend in advertising.
For me, ad-blocking is necessary from a privacy and security standpoint. It's also nice to speed up page loads, decrease memory/CPU usage, and make websites actually usable. I do tend to disable it on sites that I trust.
having just traveled overseas, i was shocked that nobody, and i mean nobody!, had a iphone 6 or macbook.
all i saw (in a middle to upper class setting) was moto E phones and asus and toshiba laptops. The better off people had Dells laptops and samsung phones.
If you are actually using your laptop to something else than purely browsing the web, you can not go wrong with MacBook, but they are very expensive outside of U.S.
On the opposite side if you are just using your laptop to surf the web then either go with Chromebook or a tablet.
I used Chromebook for few years as my main development machine and while you can get most things working now when I switched to MacBook there is no competition between it and any other laptop I've ever seen. Worst thing about it is the Cmd/Windows and Alt keys being switched around.
