I recommend adblock+ extension for you. It displays everything, but then lets you pick any element to disable or enable again, not just ads. It saves those settings until you clear your browsing history. And the memory usage can drop significantly. I primarily use a userscript to get rid of ads on all pages, but use this if there's something that's not an ad that I don't want.
