HUGE Performance conflict with Adblock Plus #155

Closed ZacWolf closed 5 years ago

ZacWolf commented 5 years ago

I'm seeing a HUGE performance hit when using Refined Twitter and Adblock Plus at the same time. This one makes perfect sense since the two, depending on your Refined Twitter setting, are competing to do the same job.

Disabling Adblock Plus for twitter.com did the trick. This info might need to be added to the readme.md or any FAQ?

Thanks!

I would suggest switching to uBlock Origin, which is an overall better content blocker, and has no noticeable performance conflict with Refined Twitter.

But to address your issue, I suspect Adblock Plus is at fault here (as they are known for poor performance).

Yeah, like I said, I just disabled Adblock Plus for twitter.com and everything was good. Just mentioning it to maybe add that to readme/faq as users of Adblock Plus that install Refined Twitter are probably going to quickly uninstall given how bad the performance becomes.

Sure, feel free to send a PR.
