I&#x27;m a subscriber to the NY Times. Out of curiosity I disabled Ghostery and reloaded this article&#x27;s page. It took 5.5s to load the page and then almost 30 seconds to load the _49_ trackers&#x2F;widgets&#x2F;beacons etc. This all over a 25Mbps connection. Page load time with Ghostery installed; 1.08s. I want to support the sites I value, but I&#x27;m not going to stop using ad blockers anytime soon.
