[Gllug] Two Queries

Neither O/T, I hope, but not related to recent discussions:

1. Is there anything in/for Linux that performs the equivalent function
to AdAware for Windows (getting rid of unwanted cookies, data miners etc.)?

2. Is there any evidence that ReiserFS imposes more physical wear and tear 
on hard drives than other filesystems? Have any tests been done on the comparative
durability of different filesystems in this respect? Are there a priori
grounds for expecting the filesystem design to be irrelevant? (It was
relevant for the old floppy-based OSs in the 80s, but the question reveals
my ignorance of modern ones).
