Great idea, actually works, but makes browser so slow as to be unusable. I shut down all other applications and windows, still feels like 1995. Is it normally such a resource hog, or is something wrong?
Win 8.0 64
4GB RAM
Firefox

I was going to donate, but couldn't find the bitcoin tab, so I decided to try it out first before financing the credit card companies further.
The application is well worth paying for, if it can be made to work.

   Hi Erik,

   Apologies for the late reply, and thank you for the feedback! We're currently working on improving the Firefox version and hope to improve performance in future releases.

   While it hasn't been reviewed by the Mozilla team yet, it is now possible to download the 2.0 version that includes the performance improvements here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-for-firefox/....

   Hi guys
   Loved the product on Chrome / Windows (paid for it)
   However, after much fiddling I discovered that it was really hobbling Firefox on Ubuntu (v 1.1)
   I upgraded but trust has gone and uninstalled immediately.
   Really suprised that Firefox approved v 1.1 because it degrades performance drastically.
   Its a bit of a dent in your rep :-(

   Hi Graham,

   Version 2.0 on Firefox fixes the performance issues, so we recommend using that one instead. It hasn't been approved by the Mozilla team yet, but it is possible to download it from the Mozilla Add-ons site.
