Whenever I opened a new tab & typed something in the address bar, it appeared after a 1-2 second delay. I used to think that was absurd on part of Chrome. However after removing ABP, the problem's gone.

That 20K number makes me cringe. For now, a little bit of ads are fine :)

I'm a big fan of Privoxy. Just get that stuff out of the browser entirely.

Yep. 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.

Interesting, in my experience, FF was always slower than Chrome.
