Privacy issues aside, javascript on certain websites tends to slow my
browser down to a crawl. Amazon.com, for instance, is impossibly
sluggish when I whitelist it. It's crashed my DE before when I had more
than a few tabs open.

In terms of both privacy and performance, the third-party scripts and
trackers really do slow down browsing.

(The Amazon scripts aren't third party, they're just surprisingly
slow...)

As an aside, if anyone knows a fix for Amazon on Firefox, I'd appreciate
a tip. I'm not sure if it's just my local setup.
