How do you know if add-ons affect your browsing performance?
Add-ons can affect browsing performance during crucial activities like opening a new tab or navigating to webpages. The source of these problems is not immediately obvious to you since these are IE usage scenarios.

Install the following demo toolbars to experiment with different add-on induced performance delays in IE9 and above. When enabled, once you launch IE or open a new tab, the Contoso Toolbar will trigger the Add-on Performance Advisor which helps you stay in control of your performance.
This demo is intended to be viewed using Internet Explorer 9 or above. For more details about this feature and other changes to the add-ons experience in IE, check out the IE Blog post.
