heh--I run the Noia theme with TabMixPlus and Colorful tabs! (as well as Adblock Plus, NoScript, and Yet Another Remove It Permanently).
I only see what I want to see.
I’m waiting for the “Windows 8” Gnome 3 theme.
That is better than IE for sure. But does going to http://www.zdnet.com/how-the-new-windows-8-license-terms-affect-you_p2-7000003028/ spike your CPU for long? It does mine, but i use the MVPS host file which blocks a lot of ads.
