I also installed a memory utility so I could see how much memory each add-in used. Although I liked the small memory footprint of uBlock Origin (it uses less than 10% of the memory of Ghostery and Adblock Plus combined), I didn't like the UI for several reasons: 1) I don't see a white list 2) I can't see a list of what is being blocked 3) It doesn't block Facebook and Google+ buttons/tracking 4) I don't care how much blocking it does "behind the scenes." If it doesn't show me what it's blocking, then I assume that it's not doing enough. Merely displaying a "blocked" number in the icon is not enough. Thanks, but no thanks. I'll take the better blocking of Ghostery and Adblock Plus over a smaller memory footprint any day. My 8 Gig i7 can easily handle the increased memory load, even with a VM running.

I noticed that our website takes about two seconds to load now, versus maybe twenty, thirty, or more seconds it used to. Ghostery blocks the Facebook Connect tracker, which speeds loading up considerably. Of course, I've visited our website recently enough that the graphics are still in my cache, but this is over dial-up. -- Chick _______________________________________________ linux-user mailing list <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:linux-user@egr.msu.edu">linux-user@egr.msu.edu</a> <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://mailman.egr.msu.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-user">http://mailman.egr.msu.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-user</a> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> <pre wrap="">_______________________________________________ linux-user mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:linux-user@egr.msu.edu">linux-user@egr.msu.edu</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mailman.egr.msu.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-user">http://mailman.egr.msu.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-user</a> </pre> </blockquote> </div> </body> </html>
