Thanks for the interesting read! Just right off the bat, I’m a little cautious of benchmarks done by Ghostery that happens to show Ghostery is incredibly fast. Not that anything else stood out to me as suspicious, just a comment. Perhaps they are The fastest _because_ they are benchmarking and have fixed bottlenecks.

Beyond all that, I’m a huge fan of ad blockers and use them as an attempt to reduce tracking and targeting and it’s abundantly clear to me that they greatly speed up many webpages. The amount of junk that so many sites load, no doubt it even saves me data on my data plan.

It seems like common sense to not trust a company whose main income is based on advertising to be making decisions on ad blocking.
