User.js: Makes Firefox slow

Has anyone noticed this making pages load slower? Have you identified a particular config responsible?

It is quite probable that this will make things slower. Also disabling the prefetches and stuff will affect your UX. Don't have any benchmarks on it though.

No, maybe it's the missing disk cache?

I can live with that! Privacy matters more!

Some pages e.g. Google pages (YouTube, GDrive etc) using a new JavaScript implementation called "Polymer". This, according to some Mozilla Devs. causes a Firefox slow-down (up to 5x times) compared to Chrome/Chromium.

The only way to fix this is to manually optin into the old layout.

The disk cache argument is not the issue, it's Google, they just don't use W3C standards on their own websites, because they have a 80+% market share with Chrome/Chromium, so why should they care?!

Still need to do that ?
