Turn on Tracking Protection in Firefox to Make Pages Load 44% Faster

Thanks for that.  Speed or no speed when I scan the only thing I usually find is tracking cookies. It would be nice if they never got on.  I set it on all my FF based browsers except CometBird.  If it works I'll try adding that value there also.

Edit: Not sure if it is related.  I notice pauses in Cyberfox for no reason.  I get the hourglass and cannot do anything until it decides to process messages.  I am going to try putting the setting back to false.

Edit2: It is hard to say.  But it seems like Cyberfox is the snappiest with the tracking protection set to false and the cache overridden and set to 0.  Better response and pages load more smoothly.

Hmm. It doesn't seem to be in PaleMoon.

I set it on, in FF Dev Ed. I'll try to test it / get vague impressions. -TaoPhoenix (May 28, 2015, 12:11 AM)

From the Pale Moon forum re. Tracking Protection:
I see no reason to favor any particular privacy data blocking method over another in the core. People can choose what they want. If you want the same functionality baked into Firefox, then install the disconnect extension. If you prefer something else, then you can take your pick of others

Curt:
Note about using Disconnect with other filtering add-ons like Adblock Plus:
Disconnect is compatible with other filtering add-ons, but if you want Disconnect to show blocking info, first uninstall then reinstall any other filtering add-ons you have (i.e., Disconnect must be added first).

I have not tried this new exe yet, but I think I should inform about it anyway:

I really dislike the homepage: http://securityxploded.com/ :-(  

TaoPhoenix:
I'm a little confused.

Don't you turn auto-complete off and a bunch of other things, nuke everything once, then it should be okay from then on?

I don't get why this has to be an add-on.
