11. Chrome with uBlock Origin speeds things up.

The Opera web browser is now based on chrome and has it's own ad blocking software. In my experience Opera is faster than Chrome too.

uBlock Origin is available for both Opera and Firefox in their respective web stores.

I used to have a mess of scripts that killed any advertising that moved or made sound, and blocked advertising from some of the more obnoxious advertising sites, but that got too complicated. I simply don't give a damn anymore about the ethics of blocking ads, and only allow advertising on sites I regularly visit, but only if the advertising is polite and unobtrusive.

Some sites simply won't load if their advertising is blocked, but who needs 'em? They are dead to me. Note to web site owners: Don't allow advertising that sucks. If it moves, flashes, makes sound, or misleads, it sucks.

There are certain sites I will pay for, such as DU.
