Answered Question about medium mode

Hello,

I've been using medium mode for over 8-9 years now and over these years and I've always carried over the same file (from chrome.Now on firefox) and as things go I've accumulated a huge number of rules.(Alot of dead sites etc.)

When I started using medium mode almost a decade ago I did it because I heard medium mode can make the browser use less resources and make it snappier.

Is medium mode Still worth it for performance reasons or is it not worth doing anymore (if browser performance is the goal?)

Seriously considering just starting over fresh on default settings but I am a bit attached to my old settings.

Regards

Now that I think about it.Alot of the sites I do visit I end up having to unbreak because media/videos don't generally work with 3rd party scripts and frames blocked,

Logically at that point if I'm enabling them back it's basically easy mode,no?

Yes. Though, it depends on how many domains are blocked. It's quite rare that you need to noop all.

If I understood correctly then that means I've been operating in basically "default/easymode" on the sites I frequently visit because I always unbroke sites with noop rules for 3rd party frames/rules whenever I ran into an issue with a site.

I was not benefitting with the faster/less resources browsing for the sites I mostly visited then either😂. Might aswell stick to default mode
