Does having a lot of extensions running slow performance?
Yes
Thought it might. Have horrible images of internet explorer with a million buttons and fields crammed in everywhere.
Foxy gestures is an enormous reason why I could never swap off Firefox in the first place
To get some of the missing features back:
This thread is full of good suggestions so here are a few that might not have been mentioned:
- Torrent Control - useful for sending magnet links directly to a variety of clients.
- Offline QR Code Generator - good for quickly sending all sorts of stuff to a phone or tablet.
- Better YouTube Shorts - depends if you like them, but this adds autoplay which I love
- TamperMonkey - extensions for your extensions! Usually site specific.
Ghostery hasn't been mentioned - it has a feature to auto-decline cookies. The popup shows up, but you just wait half a sec and everything has been auto declined.
