On: AdBlock Plus’s effect on Firefox’s memory usage

I would like to see a lighter blocking list—one that doesn’t try to be absolutely comprehensive, but just focuses on the 95% of ads that can be fixed at 10% of the cost (actually I think it’d be more like 99% at 0.1% of the cost).

I've been using this on my Android phone (but have not audited it, I should really do that some time): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bluhell-firew...

ABP has a huge page-load slowdown on my phone, this is essentially unnoticeable, and still removes the vast majority that I encounter.
