Default Using Vaseline on Battery Terminals

For years I've heard the advice to coat battery posts & terminals with
Vaseline to prevent corrosion. I've never done it because it seems
like the grease would act like an insulator and impede electrical
conduction between the posts and terminals.

Do others who use it have any problems with conduction? If not, why
do you think that's so?
