> larger load times due to an asinine amount of analytics (tracking) and advertising scripts executing on each page
I think most of the extra bandwidth and load times come simply for the large assets use (unoptimized/large/unused images, font files, css files and JS files). Most JS scripts are usually under 100kb, but an unoptimized image can add a few megabytes of extra data.
Also, if it's for development, why would it be a browser extension? Most website-testing tools are external (e.g. pingdom page speed test/google pagespeed), as you only want it to use at a specific time on a single website.
I am also a big confused, is it a development tool or an ad-blocking tool?
There's 2 applications on the same website. Globemallow is for a sustainable web development practice feedback.
Analytics and Ad Blocker is the ad blocking tool.

You are correct. Size does come from images, but page load times and CPU usage generally comes from the scripts and additional requests from analytics and advertisement scripts. When a page is just spinning waiting to load the content it significantly increases the energy usage of a website.
