If that's happening, I doubt it's uBlock.
- thesmallestcat 10y agoI've tested it, it is uBlock. Very fast boot when disabled, several seconds when enabled.
- M_Grey 10y agoThat's bizarre! Have you tried disabling everything except uBlock and seeing if that persists? Maybe it's some kind of interaction with other addons causing the problem.
- thesmallestcat 10y agoI think that's the next step, I've done things like this before but generally only to troubleshoot outright breakage caused by some addon. Thanks!
- M_Grey 10y agoMy pleasure, I wish you the best of luck with it.
- thesmallestcat 10y agoAnother user recommended uMatrix as a Ghostery replacement in this thread which I was trying out, and it looks like some Ghostery/uBlock interaction was to blame. My best guess is some Ghostery resource is correctly flagged by uBlock and that the delay I experienced was a request timeout or similar, from Ghostery.
- M_Grey 10y agoThat makes sense, and oddly enough I was just (literally for the first time, 10 minutes ago) looking at switching out Ghostery for uMatrix. Decision made, thanks.
- AdmiralAsshat 10y agoHave you thought about filing a bug report? gorhill (the author) is an active user on HN. I'm sure he would take a look if you provided some logs.
- thesmallestcat 10y agoIt looks like another addon was phoning home to a blocked resource. I should've tried more combinations first. The best thing I can think of is that it would be cool if uBlock reported when a call from another extension has been blocked.
- gorhill 10y ago> it would be cool if uBlock reported when a call from another extension has been blocked That is the purpose of the built-in logger[1]. By default uBO is not setup to block other extensions' network requests, or those made by the browser itself, one has to configure it explicitly for this to happen[2]. 1. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/The-logger https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/The-logger 2. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Behind-the-scene-network-requests https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Behind-the-scene-netw...
- thesmallestcat 10y agoHm OK, must be something else then. Either way, uMatrix blows Ghostery away so this has been fortuitous.
- M_Grey 10y agoI'm using it now at the recommendation of people here, and you're too right. It's a bit like going from a pogo stick to a McLaren.
