Yep me too.. I am trying out Chrome since FF turns into such a memory hog, how does it handle flash cookies?

If you are a Firefox user, there is a free Add-On called “Ghostery”, works very well in blocking these types of creepy tracking schemes.

“Flash & Silverlight Cookies
Also called locally stored objects or LSOs, these cookies are stored in a different location than your normal browser cookies. If enabled, Ghostery will delete cookies from companies in our library when you close Firefox. “

I am using Firefox 5.0 under Xubuntu 11.4

I have had no problems with Firefox on this machine, and like the plug-in which removes the LSO cookies after each session.
