I moving towards using a VM browser appliance, and just resetting the state after every session.

I haven't worked out all the kinks yet (not sure what OS I'm going to use as a base, what exact extensions, details stuff), but it's a nice system. So long as I have VMWare player (which is free) on any given machine, I can access my browser, with my settings, from pretty much anywhere (storing the VM centrally on a space I can access from anywhere with a net connection).

Sounds complicated, but only from a setup point of view. Once it's all in place, it's quite easy to use. The VM runs locally, so I'm not inducing extra lag, and the security aspects are rock solid.

The other option is to put the whole appliance on a USB stick, which I might do. The problem with USB sticks is I'm always forgetting to grab it on the way out the door in the morning.
