addons that increase firefox performance only. NO PRIVACY ADDONS, only performance. The exception to this rule is if the addon provides privacy AND performance.
Some examples:
BluHell Firewall (lightweight adblocker, performance friendly)
Picture Blocker (blocks images loading on a page)
Tweak Network (speeds up browser loading times, can be done manually in about:config but this addon makes it easier)
YouTube Flash Player (uses flash player instead of html5 for youtube videos which is better for performance + additional resolution options)
NoScript (depending on how this is configured, this can speed up page loading times + security and privacy)
Misc:
Waterfox browser (64 bit version of firefox designed for windows and intel CPU's)
Please post any addons or about:config tweaks you know of that prioritize performance! Together we will make the ultimate browser :)

Classic theme restorer can be used to turn off the following:
Bookmarking animations
Panel animations
New tab animations
Download notifcation animations
Fullscreen animations
This addon will also let you position the location bar in the windows border bar (see attached jpg for example) maximizing space and increasing browser navigation speed due to enhanced UI

Man my waterfox is notorious for leaking memory... do you have the same issue?
>>51252287
classic theme restorer, thanks bruh.

This really depends, bluehell firewall is simply king for its performance increases and blocks most everything you need. However there are exceptions you cannot have whitelisted sites with bluhell and bluehell misses ads sometimes. for me it's perfect and does what i need it too. But yeah if you need whitelisting go with ublock.

I don't get that problem thankfully but did in previous versions, the latest version of Waterfox is really solid. If you do get that problem there are some alternatives. I hear good things about Cyberfox which is another 64bit spin off. If that doesn't work then just stick with Firefox or go with a nightly build if you want to gamble.

In addition to this I've heard about a new firefox spinoff called ice-dragon which is from comodo and the security features built into it actually end up speeding up page loading times. I've yet to test it myself though.
>>51252363
is there a performance comparison between bluhell and ublock? i never used bluhell before.

I haven't found any statistic you can probably search around on forums or the respective add-on comments but from personal use it seems faster for me.

>YouTube Flash Player (uses flash player instead of html5 for youtube videos which is better for performance + additional resolution options)
where do you idiots get your ideas from?
>>51252182
Chrome.
>>51252591
at least say Chromium, jfc desu senpai
>>51252582
Flash player has hardware acceleration. Do a simple google search of html5 vs flash and you will find all the results you need. Html5 is better for battery, mobile devices linux and macOS but for windows it is the best option.

Most of the world uses Chrome. Why would you want to stand out? Don't you care about your privacy?

The logo looks like a spy camera, It has jerky scrolling, bad font rendering, comes bundled with software that contains adware and has worse addons than firefox. No thanks. My current browser is miles faster than it aswell.

How do you position the location bar at the border bar?
