lots of dom modifications

That's good to know. These modifications are needed to replace the style sheet details, I guess?

passes around far too much data between processes.

What does this mean? Do you have a link where I could read up on the details? Thanks.

Webextensions get their own webprocess as well as running in the website. I don’t have a link but if you read their source they just pass a lot of data to their process to determine things (last i looked some years ago).

There is a trade off of executing more things on the site vs transferring a lot of data. Either way it’s a heavy extension.
