You might know this already but in case you didn't: ad-blockers are the reason browsers are considered greedy pigs when it comes to resources.
It's no longer a universal truth that a adblocker will save you memory or CPU, ad-blockers contribute greatly to the per-tab memory cost. They also slow down page rendering greatly.
But, hey, the web is an unusable mess without them so we all use one and it's considered the cost of doing business.
