Add the chunk below to the /etc/hosts file on your tablet and far more than half of the ads are gone. No adblock plugin required.
Unfortunately, hosts does not support wildcards, so there is no such thing as *.doubleclick.net.

Moreover, to my experience the tablet is somewhat slower than a PC browser , but it is OK (javascript and flash enabled), much faster than any phone browser.

Moreover, selecting / scrolling is indeed crappy, moving finger / pen over screen sometimes selects text (even in scrollable pages), sometimes scrolls. And sometimes I have to click checkboxes 3 or more times to (un)check them.
And the scrollbars are hard to reach with the finger, because of the beveled screen edge which is unnecessary to my opinion.

When I do use a pen I use rather an ordinary pen (with ball head retracted) than the supplied stylus. A pen ls more confortable in the hand and has the same accurate tip.
