I use a adblocker not especially to block ads. It makes most websites faster, because - loading ads from overloaded ad-farms - flash - javascript monsters - video - .... I use it for those very reasons. And to kill popup adverts or floating banners that impede reading. Unfortunately, some sites refuse to display if they detect an adblocker. I do not ban all adverts, only the nosy ones: I understand sites need the money, but not at the cost of impairing web experience.
Add blocker tools also slow down browsers, because the procedure breaks optimizations by the browser: it has to read in sequence and examine before allowing to load other components. There is somewhere a very good explanation of this by a Chrome developer, maybe I can find the link.
Actually, it went well beyond loading a page. For example, even just clicking on a button in the browser was noticeably delayed. As I mentioned, disabling that addon made a big difference. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
