Ghostery for trackers (helps speed up page loads plus block tracking sites which you wouldn't image are watching you), works on Firefox, Chrome, IE, Opera and Safari Mask Me (kind of the same but also masks email when using on sites I don't want to give information to) Http Nowhere Is there any conflict between 64 & 32 bit? I know that sometimes if they are not the same you fun into weird situation when certain programs tend to be sluggish or non-responsive. These are clean dual boots your running, the Linux side isn't slow to boot up is it or is it drawing more resources than normal during start up?
