Well, you still have lots of tracking stuff loaded probably, unless you got something extra for blocking trackers.
Yes I'm sure I have that stuff loaded. But I don't care because it's quite ephemeral:
I exit Firefox multiple times a day, there's really no performance cost to doing that after every group of websites. E.g. if, while reading HN, I look up something on Wikipedia, or I search with Bing or Google, everything goes away together.
In my settings: delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed
In my settings: clear history when Firefox closes, everything goes except browsing and download history
No suggestions except for bookmarks.
So when I restart Firefox to then browse reddit it starts with a clean slate.
Comcast insisted I purchase a DOCSIS3 modem quite a while ago. Once downloads are at 100 mpbs+, does it really matter if I repeatedly re-download a few items to cache?
The only noticeable downside is when I switch to Safari to view something that needs JS, I then see ads for clothing that my wife and daughters might be interested in. I presume this is due to fallback to tracking via IP address. Of course I always clear history and empty caches in Safari.
Obviously this doesn't work for someone who wants to or needs to keep 100 browser windows open at once, for months at a time. But that's not me. I don't think that way, never have.
Edit: just had to add that sites like Wikipedia are better w/o JS (unless you edit?). I don't see those annoying week-long pleas for money. Do they still do those?

They still do those. At least I have seen them less than a year ago.
