With uBlock Origin working as it works best on Firefox, I get a 3-5 sec lag on launch [0] as it prepares the browser to block ads.
With Chrome, the launch happens in an instant. I should also mention that Firefox has always had a slow start up time on my machine.
While am sure there is a setting to turn the uBlock feature off, it probably won't make enough of a difference to beat Chrome's start up time.

- Sirenos 3y agoI fail to understand this line of thinking. How often are you restarting the browser that this makes any significant difference in your productivity?
- Timber-6539 3y agoIt was significant enough for me to notice. And it's about the subject. Doesn't matter how many times a day I launch my main browser.
- gorhill 3y ago> I get a 3-5 sec lag on launch [0] as it prepares the browser to block ads. uBO is typically ready in a fraction of second, so "3-5 sec" is not normal. In Firefox all extensions sit in the same process, so it's possible another extension is preventing uBO to be ready in a timely manner, this has happened[1].
