I have it on 4 computers and the switch was seamless.  I used the 'sync' feature to 
ensure that all of my computers have not just the same bookmarks, but also the same 
home page screen on them all.

I also do a lot of YouTube watching and - no ads in between the various videos.

The stats on the computer I am using now is:
10,196 Trackers & ads blocked
256.8MB Bandwidth saved
9minutes Time saved
and that is just in one week or so.
