FYI - Click2Flash has been superseded by Click2Plugin, but if you want ad blocking - AdBlock is the way to go - it clears a lot more than just flash out of pages.
Got a tip for us?

I get why some people jailbreak their phones, but I'm not really interested in going that route. And it's not just the iPad, but the iPhone as well.
At minimum, it would be nice to have apps like Tweetbot have a configurable browser setting to choose which browser was used to open shortened URL links.
An interesting idea. I'll try that later today, just to see how it works.
Thinking this through further, it seems like a VPN-based solution could have a DNS-based blacklist, similar to how the ad blocker subscriptions work? Hmm...
And no, public speaking is not something that most people are good at. Thanks to everyone who pointed out how many "um's" and other mistakes you saw.
Not a problem. I'm happy to do it quite frequently.
It's called being a "professional"...and yes, developers especially should have it to present their products. Otherwise, they won't be taken seriously.
I've been active in Toastmasters since my father took me to meetings as a very young child. I gave my first speech to a banquet hall of 300+ at 9 years old. I've been involved with Toastmasters on and off through high school, college, and in my professional corporate career.
Effective speaking and presentation skills are essential. I don't blame the developer here completely....no doubt he should have been better prepared and rehearsed....but the main fault is with his management allowing this dismal presentation to have occurred.
and that's just you! I personally can't live without them. I find it cumbersome without tabs. Too many windows open is a PItA. Too each is their own
I think the "simpler" refers to what others are already doing differently: Use your screen real estate wisely and use e.g. gestures for tab switches (like Atomic), offer Full Screen (Atomic as well) and - that is new - do not restart with loading all open tabs because - as mentionned - most are outdated or need logins and you might not even want to continue with the last, let's say, ten addresses you visited. The enlongated icons is a fresh idea - especially for touch devices - and might make it indeed easier to start right in... I guess something along this line... Do I make sense?
Ahh yes, I do see what you mean! Although I feel it is only fair to mention that iOS 6 safari supports fullscreen
Dolphin Web Browser on the iOS is very good and just about 5 stars on it as well. You should check it out.
"Junior is an early-stage experimental project and is not confirmed for development by Mozilla or for a future version of Firefox. All projects and experiments at Mozilla are developed in the open to gather ideas and feedback."
I don't think they wanted this presentation for public view the meeting is very laid back in informal, there just throwing ideas around and quite like it, also there speaking in english and its a informal due and who knows there where prob up all night.

I have a few colleagues that could use an "activate a fire alarm after 20 minutes of usage" feature for their presentations.
Stop the automatic playing of the junior video!!!!
I leave macrumors open all day. I love it when I come back to my office to hear that gawd-afwul presenter yapping away! Apparently that video has a time delay that makes it start playing at some random point after the page is loaded. I either have to refresh the page, STOP the video or close macrumors to make it stop. I shouldn't have to make it stop - it just shouldn't START on it's own!!!

It doesn't matter if you pay attention to it or not; if you block the ad, the site owner doesn't get paid for the ad impression.
I don't like them either, but I don't doubt that's the reason Apple won't build it in to Safari. Content providers already struggle monetizing web traffic. Unless you want to pay subscriptions to everything and lose the easy access to breadth of information that you currently have on the web, it's important to support ads.
Hey admins/mods - this is super flippin' annoying - am I the only one where this video auto-plays every time they load MacRumors? I couldn't figure out where the noise was coming from for the longest time. Didn't realize it was MacRumors because the video is waaaaay down on the front page.
FWIW, I'm on Firefox on a PC at work. Maybe that's the problem.

Are you running FlashBlock?
I do hope they release this eventually. I quite like Safari actually, but I find it too unstable at times. Some crashing is acceptable to me on a computer... but my iPad and especially my girlfriend's iPad crashes far too often with Safari... not cool... especially since stability is one of the reasons I moved towards Apple products! I'm hoping iOS 6 won't be as buggy as iOS 5. And I realize that others have not had this issue, but I can only directly comment on my own experiences with ios...
