How did you end up at the conclusion that it is Firefox that is the problem and not one of the add-ons? Or maybe you didn't? Some add-ons can do less in Chromium based browsers than in Firefox. Are you sure this isn't what you are seeing instead? Like slower DNS because of add-on settings or bigger block lists?
FYI I'm asking, not doubting or blaming or whatever.
- pdimitar 5y agoI have no clue if that's the case hence I am not blaming only the browser or only the extensions. It's most likely a combination of both. But the fact remains that I installed 100% the same set of extensions on Chrome and it loads pages at least 2X faster. I might be a programmer, I might care about putting a rod in Google's giant personal-info-gathering machine, and all that good stuff that makes us feel we're making a difference in the world -- but when 1/3 of all my pages load more slowly in Firefox, I can tolerate this only for so long. So I don't really know which factor is the real page load speed detractor. I just wish the Firefox team fixes it.
