Depending on browser, you can run different plug in programs that can effectively manage what you see / don't see. As an example, I was getting tired of Fa**book clogging my experience because the ads all load first before content and the video automatically played when I didn't want it. Using Firefox I was able to load a plugin program that eliminates the bombardment of ads and permits more control.
Also I view some sites with different browsers because of efficiency. Presently I use Firefox, Explorer, Chrome, Slimjet, Opera. Some are better than others and over time you can decide on which works best for you in your target environment. If you have a poor internet connection, Opera and Slimjet are great because you can control the content that loads and at what resolution (for images). They're both good for quick and efficient browsing, and they all have different controls for permitting / blocking content that you would prefer not to see.
My TF experience has been great on every browser. I'm getting used to the iPad version, but it isn't as robust as the browser version that I'm used to.
