Hav0c Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 This is a three part question 1) What browser are you using 2) what add-ons are you using and 3) why ?I am using FireFox (latest stable version, atm v27.0) together with Adblock Plus: Well I really think we are all tired of Ads on a site, granted there are some really nice once DownloadHelper :Sometimes i really need the help.DownThemAll: well just make life a bit easier for me.Flashblock: Don't like flash images to play without me knowing.Ghostery: This is a really, really nice add-on. It helps you see who is tracking you on the current site you are on. You will be socked to see how many trackers there are on some of your faveur sites.Greasmonkey: I custom some password code for my sites so this helps me "remember" my passwords.HTTPS-Everywhere: We all like a site to be a bit more secure and this just makes that happen.Self-Destructing Cookies: Dont like a cookie on my pc, give them all to the cookie monster.Web Developer: Like to look under the hood of websites and borrow from them. Edit: Added Firefox version. Forgot the "Plus" in Adblock. Every line of code written by man can be undone by man . "A loser in the real world is still a loser in the net!" - .hack//SIGN .

nodles Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) 1) Firefox (latest stable version, atm v27.0) 2) don't want to bloat my FF cause of slowdowns & high RAM usage, I'm currently using only 3: - Adblock Plus (with multiple filters) for ad/track blocking - HTTPS-Everywhere for "force" secure sign/sites - NoScript to block scripts & flash etc (kinda same reasons as ABP) I don't use Ghostery anymore because it's redundant; ABP filters should block everything that Ghostery blocks and if not, NoScript and my hosts file will. 3) See above + I've used FF for along time now and I like the addons and it's interface etc. Edited February 11, 2014 by nodles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuLu Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Browser: Firefox Add-ons: Avast Online Security Why: Because I can't think of anything else I need and I always hear people talking about how add-ons screw up Firefox, so I'd rather not add something that's just going to give me more headache. lol But as a side note I'm considering switching to Chrome... I'm here. What are your other two wishes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hav0c Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 It is shocking to see the amount of entries that are in the ABP lists you guys provide. Just think of all the computing power and server farms that are out there JUST for ads and porn. Some people make money proving, for a better word, spam, to other people and other people make money stopping the spam. Every line of code written by man can be undone by man .

Hav0c Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Nodles with all my addons FF use about 200,000 - 250,000k according to task manager and I don't notice any lag in. Using about:addons-memory it states +-50mb How much ram does yours use with only 3 addons installed ? Every line of code written by man can be undone by man .

There's also Fanboy's Enhanced Tracking List which had some false positives. Also last time I checked Ultimate or Fanboy's Enhanced Tracking List wasn't updated in a while but looks better now, might give it a try later.

Winapp2.ini how much RAM does your FF use? Any slowness you've noticed? You've so many addons installed. Disconnect does largely the same things, but ghostery sells your data, disconnect doesnt. I use extensive filters for ABP but I occasionally run into objects on pages I dont want to see, element hider takes care of them. I like firebug more than the built in developer tools, but the developer tools are coming along nicely enough that I might ditch firebug at some point. Usually between 2-3gb, no slowness. Firefox allocates ram based on system resources available to it (eg. a machine with only 4gb of RAM would not see my level of ram usage). I've 11 tabs open as I write this post and it's using 780mb of ram. YMMV winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted February 14, 2014 Moderators Share Posted February 14, 2014 Disconnect does largely the same things, but ghostery sells your data, disconnect doesnt. surely Ghostery doesn't do that if you disable GhostRank Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data.

Winapp2.ini Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I suppose not, since I don't think you submit dats with GhostRank on, but for a while the holding company wasn't really upfront about that and it makes me distrust them. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winapp2.ini Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Forgot to include my addon memory consumption: http://i.imgur.com/RcrJK6C.png That's after about an average length session. Biggest culprit is always abp because I have a ton of filters added in and always a lot of tabs open (though nowhere near the prolific Super Fast's number of tabs!) winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodles Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Starting with blank page FF takes ~240MB but rises rapdily to ~300-350MB when opening first tab and after a while FF takes about 400MB-600MB. I've 8GB RAM.I had some slowness/sluggishness earlier but got it fixed by creating new profile (and reinstalling Firefox I think). My profile is so very old (because I backup it before I reinstall) and it had lots of useless, outdated and redundant files from old addons and FF versions etc. I also checked my ABP; removed all filters and then checked best filters at that moment and installed those. Also ABP uses a bit less RAM after the optimization.I've also tried about:memory-addons but now I'm just using about:memory (one addon less ).

Winapp2.ini Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 the eCleaner addon purges references to addons that don't exist anymore, but yeah a profile reset every so often isn't a bad idea, especially since firefox sync will bring back your addons / settings, bookmarks, etc, without any of the old problematic stuff winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
