I doubt that 90,000 rules were an issue. On 12 year old laptop (thinkpad x230) with 260,000 ublock rules (+240,000 cosmetic) the slowdown is imperceptible. Contrary, ad-ridden websites load much faster.
- Arnt 4y agoDisabling the blockers (plural because three) fixed it, so it was either that or that the extra processing pushed firefox over a RAM cliff and into swap, which sounds unlikely. Anyway, we didn't try any more debugging, she just got a new laptop.
- StingyJelly 4y agoProbably one of the extensions was the culprit. But clearly it's not about the number of rules and crippling that functionality would not bring performance benefit. Ublock origin is pretty lightweight even with 500,000 rules applied.
