Windows 7 Enterprise edition. I am using workstation in my office. I confirmed this by checking with 2 other colleagues.

I disabled Javascript and the site did not crash my pc.

Apologies for my early reply

Actually the link mentioned in the post says this

"An integer overflow in the libpng library can lead to a heap-buffer overflow when decompressing certain PNG images. This leads to a crash, which may be potentially exploitable."

which may be potentially exploitable

that's what is mentioned in the post.

Regarding mouse over ads, apologies for not providing a good reading experience. Since the original link is in blue and the ad is in green, I thought it was easily distinguishable. I will look after it.

Thanks for the comment :)

A built-in adblocker, alone doesn't ensure the top spot among browsers. If that is the case then Chrome should not have reached this place in browser market. Yeah Chrome too have an adblocker. But Chrome started to gain market share, before even getting an adblocker!

That is of not much use to the user. By blacking out the whole page, users are now forced to read about the Reddit's stand against SOPA and PIPA which people might miss if Reddit follows your suggestion. Even people ignorant about SOPA and PIPA will read this and get a clear understanding about it

I hope I have covered it more clearly in the article. May be I should look after the headline though.

Also the original article covers Ubuntu in more detail, which is out of scope for this blog.

Thanks for the pointer!

Yeah you are right. Privacy remains a concern. If that happens, we will compromise privacy for quality. I like Google Chrome but still privacy remains an issue for me.
