I've been having huge slowness problems on several browsers on several computers... a Firefox install on a macbook pro, and a Waterfox on an iMac.

I figure it has to be a plug in that's caused this fairly recent issue. ...and the main new one on both has been Honey.

I'm asking here, rather than just yanking the plug in because I thought I read someone make a similar comment a bit ago, and I'm wanting to gather additional data points.

 

(I also recently added OneTab, which stores a list of tabs you had open, which is all java scripted, so could also be the problem, but it was giving me no problems before, and was a great boon in curtailing my tab habit).

I recently installed Honey (few days ago?) and I haven't noticed a difference in performance in my browser.

 

Best way to find out would be to go through and disable each plug in one by one and testing which one gives you the biggest performance hit. You can disable plug ins without uninstalling them. Ctrl + Shift + A. Extensions tab. Select the app and click "Disable". You may need to close and reopen your browser for changes to take affect.
