I've had uBlockOrigin, Ghostery and Disconnect installed for awhile.

I recently went through Ghostery's and Disconnect's settings, choosing the most agressive blocking. I am amazed at how quiet my laptop runs.

I recently went to a Wired article, and uBO blocked 133 requests. That's 133 bits of content or code that my browser and cpu did not have to work on.

It may not be Firefox that's causing you trouble, it may just be that the Web sucks more with each passing day.

uBO is cool- I'll be switching to it from AdBlock Plus straight away & start saving a few milliseconds on page load with its CPU usage being less.
Are these in addition to, or in lieu of Ad Block Plus?
I deleted Adblock Edge, and replaced it with uBO.
