Sure, it's faster if some scripts are blocked. Wait how fast it gets as soon as you add ublock Origin.

- floatingatoll 9y agoIronically, content blocker extensions have historically been a common source of slowdowns while loading all pages.
- sjwright 9y agoThat's been historically true for Adblock Plus. Has anyone benchmarked ublock as impacting the performance of Firefox?
- floatingatoll 9y agoAdblock was not consistently slow over time. It varies based on a huge array of conditions. I would assume any benchmark will suffer the same flaw - unless performed over time, which will go poorly since we’re busily swapping out the guts of the product right now, and so Apples to Apples will be nigh impossible on any useful timescale.
- akerro 9y agohttps://github.com/gorhill/uBlock#performance https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock#performance It might be biased since it's from µblock developer.
- kodablah 9y agoAlso really old. uBlock is fairly fast on the cosmetic blocking because it does a couple of things: parses selectors themselves instead of querying for all of them, and caches known selectors. It uses a mutation observer to check for new elements.
- Reason077 9y agoI observed very significant speedups on Firefox (< 57) on an older, memory-constrained Mac when using uBlock origin. Both page load times and general feel (lag when switching between tabs, etc) were improved. On a modern Mac with plenty of RAM the difference isn't really noticeable.
