MY GOSH! I never realized how slow my page loadings were. Removed ABP (and a couple of extensions) after reading this and the memory consumption just went to 1/2 of what it used to be, the page loading times are just incredible... I always wondered why Chrome is soooo much slower compared to Firefox (ABP not installed on Firefox) but never investigated further.
Thank you so much!

- pkulak 12y agoI'm a big fan of Privoxy. Just get that stuff out of the browser entirely.
- jrabone 12y agoYep. I run Privoxy and a DNS resolver configured to be authoritative for the worst 5000 or so ad farms. Zips along nicely, and works for every machine on the LAN or via remote VPN. Fuck ads. Find a different business model.
- boobsbr 12y agoInteresting, in my experience, FF was always slower than Chrome.
