I have installed the NoScript extension in Firefox. I typically enable only

When I enabled google.com, Firefox became very sluggish.
Hmm I have Firefox with Noscript and watch a fair amount of Youtube.
google.com does not get to run JS and I've noticed no ill effects.
Ghostery's blocking 7 things on that site (it says) and most of them have
"Google" in the name. Perhaps that's the difference? There's also
"Adblocker for Youtube™".
Choice of plug-ins is a plausible explanation. My Firefox has:
Audio Compressor
NoScript
Privacy Badger
uBlock Origin
And, each has various configuration settings; any one of which could
cause issues.
A proper web site should respect privacy, should use JavaScript only
from the originating domain, and should be free of external
advertisements. craigslist.org is one of the few web sites that seems
to follow these principles.
