Ah, you're right about the cookies thing. Regarding uBlock Origin and e10s, you've never gotten the dialog "uBlock Origin is making Firefox run slowly" or similar? I believe that's related to e10s...
- ronjouch 11y agoIn a sense, this feature/dialog is "close" to e10s as it's under the same umbrella at Mozilla, the "Snappy" [1] effort to work on performance. But it's not the same: - e10s is about making each browser tab an independent process [2]. Some addons have glitches with it, but uBlock Origin is not one of them. - The feature you saw just proactively tells users about addons degrading performance and help them disable them or adjust their expectations. See [3]. EDIT hmmm, you are right, actually! The bug explicitly mentions the goal to "identify add-ons that are causing jank because of their CPOW usage", and CPOW is an e10s thing [4].
