    i don’t know why people are so allergic to firefox but it is the answer.

    its the only halfway decent answer. install firefox and switch to it.

      Classic letting perfect get in the way of good. Firefox is excellent as is. Hate Mozilla? Get one of the quality forks. Which exist because we have firefox.

      I love Firefox, used to use it all the time. Now it’s slower on Ubuntu than Brave. I mean slow as in irritating to use, click and wait.

        Then something must be wrong with the way you configured your OS.

          To which I offered a possible answer. Does everyone have misconfigured operating systems?

          Mozilla’s Firefox browser isn’t known for speed. It falls into last place in most of our tests for Windows and Mac, and that’s okay. Firefox is more about security features than speed, which is ideal if you’re more concerned about blocking malware than loading pages in a flash.

          Yep, I’d probably be wasting my time going down the uninstall-reinstall rabbit hole and would probably not find speed increases.

        thats probably because you are using the snap version of firefox canonical is pushing.

        a big reason why i want to ditch ubuntu.
