I'm considering switching from Firefox to chrome, and I want to know if Chrome has the equivalents to these addons I frequently use in Firefox:
Ghostery
NoScript
Greasemonkey
Thanks!
Chrome or Safari doesn't have nearly the choices of add-ons, capability, openness and choice like Firefox.
Chrome is by Google which is a Advertising Company, which means they collect anything and everything they can about everyone to sell that information. Google doesn't offer free stuff just because they are nice, there is a purpose behind their actions.
I notice you concerned about trackers and scripts, but hopefully you didn't miss deleting "Flash and Silverlight cfirefox google addonsookies upon exit" option in Ghostery used to track your behavior as they don't delete with normal cookies.
Also turning off any "check website forgeries options" this sends your IP and every site you visit to Google for verification, even sites you link to from another site. This is in addition to saving all your Google searches for later retrieval. You need TrackMeNot installed to mask your online search profile.
Also the only browser capable of deleting the dreaded Evercookie is Safari in Private Browsing mode. With Ghostery for the web bugs and Plugin Customs for stopping scripts (but not Javascript?).
There is no "NoScript" option fofirefox google addonsr Safari which the Firefox version provides so much more "web cop" features, but if you "Temporarily Allow All this Page" with NoScript in Firefox, then Javascript runs and Evercookies get rebuilt from HTML and other data not deleted, regardless of what Ghostery does when closing.
Hopefully the next Firefox version will delete everything to kill the Evercookie and all this other baloney circulating on the net to violate our privacy. I don't expect Google to comply, they got more trackers than anyone. Apple is headed in that same direction seeing all the money Google makes spying on folks.
Good luck
