One thing I know slows down browsing is the way sites outsource much
of their content. The browser has to access many sites on the web to
put together a page for you to view. Blocking this as much as
possible not only speeds up page loading, but also hinders tracking
sites.
Though, occasionally, you get the opposite: Sites waiting for some
external content to load before anything will proceed. Script blocking
can help with that, but can also kill a site from doing anything. It's
very much a two-edged sword.

no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages
posted to the mailing list.
Hooray! I finally finished typing this email.
