Causes SEVERE slowdowns and increases loading times on nearly all webpages. Does not perform well at all. Would not recommend to anyone. The moment I uninstalled the extension, Firefox was immediately faster and smoother. I'll go back to using other extensions. Avoid Ghostery.
EDIT:
I reached to Ghostery support. I'll update if they reply with a solution. For now I am still firmly under the impression that their add-no does not provide a faster experience. Yes, it blocks trackers and ads, but my experience was very slow and unusable.

Ghostery speeds up page loads by blocking third party tracking, ads, and slow loading scripts. Please reach out to us by email to support@ghostery.com with any examples you can provide. Thanks!

    In addition to anti-tracking, I love the Never Consent toggle so I don't have to wade through those cookie consent banners.

    A top tier extension to add to your browser, pretty much plug & play situation. I do link my account to sync across my devices I use this extension.

    so far so good - transparent, not intrusive, seems to be working.

    Makes a lot of websites actually usable since it blocks all ads. I also like the menu where you can see what kind of content it blocks. Recommend
