Software speed

Cache
I run all my chromium-based browsers with their caches in /tmp, which itself runs as a ram-disk per tmpfs. That seems to be a good mod, for speed, privacy, & SSD-life. However, all these articles that advise us to basically turn-off / disable nice features & functions of the browser [or software in general], bore & exasperate me. In the specific case of Vivaldi, i use it [as would be true for a high% of its users i expect, especially we early-adopters who came to it after Opera12] because i want lots of eye-candy & fabulous features, functions & customisability. Why on earth would i want to lose all that? I mean, i might as well then just stick with one of the numerous hollow pleb browsers out there...
