[QUOTE="absolute beginner, post: 907734, member: 89197"] Incredible how fast we get answers on this forum :oops:(y) So, i've done some quick tests consisting in removing all of my 4 extensions then test a combination of 2, 3 and all of them with 200 sites never visited (to avoid cache interference). First, it's amazing to re-discover how fast can pages load without extensions. You click, you see the page, it's immediate. - MBBG alone or MBBG+Ubo don't really slow my browsing down. It's really when you add a third extension (whatever extension) that i can notice a slow down (pages will load then in 1 to 5 seconds). - Using Ubo (alone in easy enhanced mode) with just one list (Kees1958) didn't really improve the speed. You will see more effect just with disabling cosmetic filtering I think. Secondly, it's amazing to re-discover how much annoyances we get without Ubo (cookie agreement, newsletter inscription, etc..). How can people live nowadays without extensions? Well, I think i have to find a compromise between speed, annoyances protection and tracking protection (in order of preference). Maybe i'm wrong with tracking protection. In fact, i just want to protect myself from commercial sites to recognize me and give me the price they profiled. For example, if you want to rent a car, at home, the site will propose me 100$ and if I do exactely the same research on a different PC (at work), the site will propose me 90$. I think it's called the best price practice. and to answer your questions : [USER=52096]@Gandalf_The_Grey[/USER] : sorry, i didn't unsterstand the whole thing about CNAME. But I agree that I have to better choose my filters list. I'll do that. What about Cache clearer. do you still use it and why? I saw the windows_security' topic (and it is pinned) about tweaking Ubo, but as Lenny_Fox's setup is largely inspired by this one, i prefered to ask here. [USER=71262]@oldschool[/USER] : I think effectively that i should separate myself of at least one extension but the problem is that MBBG and Privacy Possum are highly recommanded almost everywhere. I would rather prefer to say goodbye to decentraleyes which real utility is more controversed. I was mentally prepared to give up Ubo but finally, no...and when I thought i have made the most important click of my life when I thicked "I'm a advanced user" to switch to medium mode :p. I think I will stay with "Enhanced easy mode" Brave : ah, if I could step back in time, I would surely choose this browser but you know, at my age, it's hard to break the habit and I do like my Opera...🙄 [USER=85179]@security123[/USER] : i know you recommand NextDNS for multiple reasons, CNAME is another reason i was ignoring but CloudfaresDNS are faster I guess. As I said, i have to find by myself a compromise. [/QUOTE]
