Use Cases: [untrusted web] This extension can be used to browser, for instance, unsecured pages. In this case, popup blockers and adblocker extensions must be enabled.
[trusted web] For normal web browsing, the CPU-intensive extensions (mainly content blocker extensions) can be switched off to improve the browser's speed. Note that each extension especially those dealing with adblocking, uses at least one network observer and by nature network observation makes your web browsing experience a bit slow.
