    ??? Arch Wiki is just plain html and css? You might be experiencing the ddos arch services have experienced lately. In any case I’ve not had any problems on Librewolf, although out of the websites you listed I only regularly visit the Arch Wiki and occasionally the PostmarketOS site.

    Archlinux site has been targeted by a DDoS attack recently and apart from that it always works great on any browser/engine

    postmarketOS and Arch wiki? That’s very weird, aren’t both plain mediawiki? Works really well on my Firefox. Even works on SeaMonkey.

    EndeavourOS/Manjaro forum probably uses Discourse… I don’t get why people like that forum software :/

      I don’t either. It hates minority browsers even more than Cloudflare does, doubles down on this by using unnecessary bleeding-edge Javascript constructs, and every instance of it I’ve ever seen looks ugly as hell.

      feature packed with a really clean and user friendly UI + each distro can easily customize it to add lots of their own brand identity (Manjaro especially appreciates this).

      I don’t have a problem with it not loading correctly, and it loads quickly even on somewhat slow internet (using Firefox).

        it feels like a “web app” more than a website. Like, it somehow needs to “load” after loading the page… unlike classic forum softwares that just instantly show the pre-rendered page.

        this is personal preference but the ui also feels way too ‘simple’, hard to navigate and has low info density. i guess this is how more people nowadays prefer things to work

          I kind of like this behavior. If you’re writing a complex website with user posts, comments, tags, and other nifty stuff and want it to stay modular it’s almost guaranteed that you’ll end up with this loading behavior (unless you want to SSR everything).

          Don’t know about that, I find it easy to navigate with the consistent sidebar elements. Searching for posts is easy since they’re usually well tagged and have good titles. Searching for solutions and checking out community contributions and votes is about 90% of my use case for a forum. Maybe you have different use cases.

        Forum software is like exactly what raw html/css was made for, i don’t understand the need for slow js bloat

    Most sites run as well, if not better, on Firefox for me.

    If you’re running a quick and dirty test, you might not get an accurate picture of the performance differences. For example:

    • Your usual browser might have cached some content from the last time you used it
    • Unless you kill them properly, your computer might not have the RAM/processing to be running two browsers at the same time with the best performance
    • One browser might be bogged down with extensions / issues that built up over time

    You could try giving Firefox a clean install, or opening it in safe mode (it’s now called troubleshoot mode), to see if there’s any difference

    In the 6 years I’ve been with Firefox on Linux on my 9-year-old laptop, I could count on both hands the number of sites that didn’t render correctly, and on one hand the number that didn’t run or weren’t performant.

    Maybe I’m just lucky, but I definitely feel for folks who are stuck with Chrome and all those ads.

    I know the Linux community has a hard time accepting this, but Firefox’s rendering engine is trash tier. Even in Windows.

    I don’t know the inner workings or politics, I can only go by anecdotal evidence. Firefox runs like shit for me on everything.
