I’m not talking about an extra 10-15sec, but easily 2-3 full minutes (I’ve sat here with a timer checking) to load pages, sometimes not loading them at all. Particularly with login pages, but even just homepages.

Dropbox, Cloudflare, Various companies forums, My bank, Google; each of these sites and more I’ve had firefox either not load at all, or take so long I’ve been able to copy the link into Chrome, do what I need there, then come back to Firefox still ‘loading’ a blank white page.

I just don’t understand. I want to migrate away from Chrome and use Firefox, but it’s been unusably slow when it even loads anything at all.

P.S. In the time I’ve taken to write this (~5min) plus the time to decide to post and find this community firefox has still not loaded my cloudflare dash… (typed in the address, waited a while, gave up and came here but left it open)

/edit: I should note I have ublock installed, but I get the same results with it disabled most of the time.

      I don’t understand the downvotes, if I’m wrong or being misled about anything, I’d appreciate if someone chimed in

      and just to be clear, I linked directly to the comment I was referring to, that highlighted one of the offers the Hover Zoom+ dev was sent on Jan.25, 2021:

      We’d love to have redacted sponsor Hover Zoom+ in a similar manner to how we’re partnering with Dark Reader. See attached for how that partnership has come to life, but we’re honestly super flexible on implementation. We’d essentially love to pay you in exchange for helping us drive users to redacted.

      the parent to that comment links to the Hover Zoom+ dev’s public listing of every ad company offer he’s received from 2015 to 2023, found at https://github.com/extesy/hoverzoom/discussions/670
