The reason I was driven to run Ghostery about a year ago was 3rd party sites which failed to respond in timely fashion.
My web experience has sped up tremendously due to ghostery.
I sure hope that eventually ghostery et all will force ads back onto the primary page, rather than scattered all over unknown dark corners of the internet where no one is to blame for hung browsers.
I also use Ghostery, motivated by my desire to keep sites from tracking me all over the Internet, but yes ... surfing the web with Ghostery (and other ad blocking and tracking plugins installed) certainly speeds up site load times. And I like the peace of mind knowing that I’ve taken steps to protect my privacy. You certainly can’t depend on our government or corporations to do it.
That being said, I haven’t experienced your issue at all, but that’s not to say it can’t happen. A good first step in troubleshooting is always to “backtrack” a bit and disable any newly installed plugins, or updates to long existing plugins, to determine if they could be the culprit causing the issue. Once you reach a point where disabling a certain plugin alleviates the problem, then searching for an update could resolve it permanently ... or you may have to delete it entirely, or leave it disabled until developers fix the problem.
I'm ̶p̶r̶e̶t̶t̶y̶ ̶s̶u̶r̶e̶ certain the lunatics have taken over the asylum.
