I wonder who thought that would be a good idea... Sounds like something that could be significantly improved by compiling all patterns into a single statemachine.
Great research! I'm a user of evernote web clipper and seeing that they're adding 3mb to every page that I'm using is extremely discouraging. My browse to clip ratio is around 1000:1 and I'm probably removing the extension after this. Just wondering, can browser extensions codesplit their bundles? If it's possible, then it is really disappointing to see these large companies loading huge bundles on initial load.
Did you try to set the extension to "run on click"? Right-click extension icon, "This can read and change site data" -> "When you click the extension". I didn't try it myself (it might require reloading the page), but might be an option for 1000:1 browse to clip ratio.
Gracias!

Because the most popular browser is made by a company that makes the vast majority of their money from ads.
> The Avira Browser Safety extension contains a website allowlist with 30k+ regular expressions. When the user navigates to a new page Avira checks if the page URL is in that allowlist I wonder who thought that would be a good idea...

> "DDG Privacy Essentials does a simple object property lookup based on the request domain, an operation that is practically instantaneous" This sounds interesting. A bit of searching is not providing much enlightenment - anyone care to explain in a bit more detail? Also, if it is so fast, why aren't all the filter add-ons doing it?
This is used in hash tables, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table
Object properties in JS are mostly the same thing.
I guess other extensions can't do the same because they don't have a simple value to search in a whitelist, but rather a list of regex which must all be executed.
It seems like the included pw managers like LastPass & Dashlane also impact page loading drastically. Is there even an alternative with less impact?
