Such a baseless statement. Ad blockers actually improve performance by removing random junk videos, and images from running on the site.

I'm so glad to have switched to Firefox.

Yes, but if I remember correctly, the UBlock Origin devs said that the current restrictions in Chrome prevent some of the performance improvements seen in FFx because the filtering is done after the element is downloaded. So, it still has to transfer, but isn't rendered or executed. I could be mistaken, though.

Came to say the same. My low-end laptop is only able to browse the internet thanks to adblock.
