Page A loads content for X seconds and Z seconds loads ads. uBlock overhead is Y second but saves Z seconds by blocking ads. Total time with uBlock is X+Y-Z. If page has zero ads the time will be X+Y-0 which is greater than X+0.

- drusepth 7y agoJust to clarify, this is desirable because "fewer/no ads" is preferred over "faster page load times"?
- pmontra 7y agoYes. Pages with ads are unreadable. I'm horrified every time I see friends navigate with no adblockers. I always recommend one. I'm going to start recommending Firefox again, as I did at the times of IE6.
- bscphil 7y agoIt's also probably entirely random fluctuations in this case. uBlock doesn't add anywhere near that much latency normally.
