It might be helpful to know the more extentions you add to Firefox, the slower it can make the browser.

Good point, 0_0.

AdBlock can slow down page loading, especially if your filters are inefficient. It can also speed things up! An acceptable balance can be found.

TBE is another good example. It does seem to have a somewhat of a slowing effect here (Win2K, Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2 , Slow machine ---> Cel 450, 448M), particularly in it's Advanced Mode.

It might slow down individual page loading, but overall it makes browsing much more efficient, if you utilize its powerful features (loading pages in the background is just the start).

TBE is _not_ perfect. Certain features regularly act up (1: CloseBoxs in Tabs intermittently fail, and/or the "Click" point shifts to the left; 2: Site-specific exceptions for JavaScript to open a new Tab instead of a new window is flaky 3: Re-Loaded Tab Sessions may result in Tabs being re-loaded in different order...).

Past versions have also caused past versions of Weasel to crash under extreme conditions (i.e. dragging tabs across multiple Weasel windows with 40 or more open Tabs).

B has pointed out, I think, that TBE plays better with Mozilla (proper).

For this user, however, overall, it is indispensable, worts and all.

Beginners (and 1st time users) might start off running Weasel fairly "bare". Then add an extension and run with it for a bit, before adding the next. Try TBE in the non-Expert mode first.

The only requirement is that you must have fun with your Weasel, and hose it off, gently, on occasion
