Yeah, no. Javascript manipulates the dom exactly as you are describing. In fact, javascript is directly responsible for much of the rendering on the modern web today. Hacker News goes in circles talking about it lately, in fact.
So any page with javascript is going to be slowed down precisely for the reason you are stating.
All you have done is compared a bunch of chrome extensions. Adguard is not an extension. Being faster than all the extensions is like being smartest boy who got held back a grade.
- gorhill 6y agoI responded to your claim _"It significantly slows down a webpage rendering"_, and provided 3rd-party evaluation to the contrary when actual real world web pages are used. You counter with a just-trust-me claim that AdGuard not-the-extension is fastest, no objective evaluation provided -- despite AdGuard the-extension not faring the best among the bunch in actual real-world, independent evaluations.
- ameshkov 6y agoWell, to be honest, AdGuard not-the-extension technically cannot be the fastest. It does a lot of things to do system-wide blocking - analyzing the connection, passing network packets, parsing protocols, this all adds some overhead. Browser extensions simply don't deal with all that stuff and thus any extension, unless it's really poorly written, is not slower. Moreover, this is not what we are offering. System-wide blocking is about having more control over your system and not about being the fastest.
