Actually till now only one user complained regarding the performance on Firefox.

And I even tried to test by myself and found a minor lag which Firefox itself has
I have M4 24GB.

But, now I am postponing the Whitelist feature and investigating this performance
problem. Thanks for letting me know :)

Okay so I have made improvements and so far on firefox it is working good now but I'm looking at more places if we can make this more better.

and yes again firefox does have restrictions which is making it more visible unlike chrome.

Thanks for the support!

On Chromium based Browser it is working much better now.

But on firefox there is still some drag I can see it is working better
but have to investigate more for Firefox.

This is a tricky situation I have been scraping the network resquest sent by YouTube and now I think we are alose for a better solution via XHR JSON and I have also prioritise teh HTML GET request page to immedieatly Block content.

Hi so with this change 22ace9d the problem is almost gone specially from Chromium based browser but there are still more fixes whcih we need to do for Firefox and hence I am not closing this for now :)

Marking this as done as firefox works better but I am still looking for better ways to do this.
