- worble 8y agoOther than using ublock/umatrix to block as much 3rd party crud as possible, there's not much else you can do since most sites will be tightly coupled to their javascript. If you're lucky, certain popular websites have their own extensions, such as Alternate Player for Twitch.tv[0], which help make the experience quicker and nicer, but you'll have to search for these if they exist.

- sb8244 8y agoThat's great, for you. However, many users utilize the wide feature set that it provides and power their business on top of that feature set. Should you have to pay the price for that? Probably not. I like the you have a way to avoid the things you don't need and save memory and time.
