F8ER (ID: 000000e1b708a984) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/10/2021 Dear Developer, Thank you for the project. The idea is nice, but it seems it doesn't work currently. Same lags appear after ~100 posts scrolled. Best and kind regards

Alper Çağlar (ID: 0000006346c0a247) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/04/2021 Çalışıp çalışmadığı belli değil, eklentiyi kapattığım zaman bile sayfalar ve yayınlar aynı hızda yükleniyor. Ayrıca ekstra özelliklerde yüklense iyi olur madem tarayıcıda kalabalık yapacak resimleri ve videoları indirme gibi sponsorlu reklamları engelleme gibi ek faydaları olsaydı iyi olurdu.

(ID: ) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/24/2019 Nahezu nutzlos. Man kann nach der Installation des Optimiser vielleicht einen Bildschirm weiter runterscrollen, ehe der Browser sich den gesamten Arbeitsspeicher einverleibt hat und nichts mehr geht.

Berry Vodka (ID: 000000fe198602b5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/03/2018 clearly this helps if you have a lot of .gif images to load but you want to keep scrolling down, and begins to lag. there's not much difference otherwise! i would still recommend though and i would like a similar extension for FB pages >_< i really hate that lagging while scrolling down there!!
