### Should I disable _"Suspend network activity until all filter lists are loaded"_ in uBO for Firefox/Firefox for Android?
No.
Doing so will prevent uBO from properly filtering the first webpage loaded at launch time because this tells uBO to let all network requests through before the filter lists are loaded into memory. If this setting was of no importance, it would not be enabled by default.
Waiting for filter lists to be loaded in memory is a _one-time event_ when uBO launches, and this may cause a delay when loading the _first_ webpage at launch time. Once the filter lists are all loaded in memory, the setting has **no effect** on how fast webpages load.
Do not follow random advice of people suggesting that you disable this setting, especially when they do not provide information on the adverse effects of doing so, they most likely lack the technical knowledge behind the setting, and are failing to ensure you are making an informed choice.
You can find out how long it takes for uBO to be fully ready by opening the _Support_ pane in the dashboard and by finding the `allReadyAfter` entry at the bottom of the _troubleshooting information_ section.
