Are five criteria -- JavaScript speed, average CPU usage under stress, DOM selection, CSS rendering speed, page load time, and browser cache performance -- enough to choose one browser over another?

Adblock and Noscript equivalents are two absolute requirements for me to even consider using a browser other than Firefox. Whenever I use someones machine that doesn't have these I keep thinking that someone stole the Internet and replaced it with some gigantic, evil advertising machine.
