Redirect Remover Lags Google Images

The title is what I'm mainly going to talk about here. Lately, my Google Images search has been lagging, and sometimes blank previews appear. I was puzzled at what was happening, but couldn't find out the culprit. Thinking that it was only Google's server problems, I moved on, but nothing was changing. A normal Google search was fine (along with GooglePreview), while Google Image Search was still laggy. Then when I saw the Redirect Remover cursor when I hovered over a preview, I thought about it, and tested uninstalling it. Yes, I could've just disabled, but I find it pretty much useless anyways, so I did that. Now everything is fine. Really, with all the wonderful add-ons Firefox has, I don't see why Redirect Remover is one of the only three recommended on this site.

As for my favourites: Adblock Plus, All-in-One Sidebar, Fasterfox Lite (there are many alternatives, but I think this works best), IE Tab, LastPass, NoScript, Session Manager, Tab Mix Plus, Text Link, Tiny Menu, Webmail Notifier, and WOT.
