Yep

Exactly because of it, mainly.

57, now 58 is night and day compared to any previous version I have used on
GNuxion. Addons will slow it down considerably though, and will especially
use a lot of RAM.
I used to run it first for a couple of weeks with noscript only and it was
lightning fast and used only 140 mb when started. Now that I have installed
umatrix and httpseverywhere it is considerably slower and it uses 240 mb od
RAM on start.
Btw I am wondering: how come we need a stupid addon to make it so we are
automatically directed to the encrypted version of a website? Isn't that a
necessity? Don't you think Mouzzilla should make such behavior the default
feature?
