I run Adblock (not plus though) + Ghostery, and perhaps they use more memory and CPU, but if they do I&amp;#x27;ve never noticed nor cared about it. Their userfriendliness is amazing though. HTTPSB randomly cripples sites, much like NoScript, and I really can&amp;#x27;t be bothered to deal with that anymore.&lt;p&gt;With Adblock + Ghostery I feel completely in control. If I want to enable the Disqus script on a single page for a single session, Ghostery easily lets me do that. HTTPSB makes that hard, or perhaps I&amp;#x27;m missing something.&lt;p&gt;Case in point: When I tried to post this comment, I got a &amp;quot;Dead link: users don&amp;#x27;t match&amp;quot; error which went away when I disabled HTTPSB.</text></comment>

I never realized how &lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt; slow my page loadings were. Removed ABP (and a couple of extensions) after reading this and the memory consumption just went to 1&amp;#x2F;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!</text></comment>
