Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

I'm using Firefox with uBlock Origin on both android and windows. I'm finding more and more sites that are very slow to load, or won't load at all. Yet when I open them in Chrome they work fine. I'm assuming the sites are just failing because of the privacy protection features of ff+ubo, and I'm happy enough to just avoid these shitty sites in general. But - I'm just checking to see - is this expected behaviour, might I have configuration issues?

You're going to need to provide specific web sites where you observe the problem to have any chance of getting meaningful answers.

So, it sounds like this isn't expected behaviour? Now that I've gone looking for examples, I can't find any. Maybe there was some temporary problems yesterday..

Yep, not something I've noticed.

Reset ublock origin to defaults and re configure it. That usually fixes like 99.9% of these problems.

try disabling cosmetic filtering on such websites and see if they load faster after a refresh.

Yep, it'll do that. Sites are pretty much designed for chrome and thats it.
