Restarted, no browser (Firefox) updates available but man it is slow. Whole lines of typed text appear at once, seconds after I have stopped typing.
Snappy as usual on Chrome though.
EDIT: Never mind. I restarted FF a second time and it seemed to fix whatever was hanging things up.
Neal — not just you, and not a WB problem. Firefox and Discourse have had issues for years. Chrome and Safari are just better with it. Second restart fixed it this time, but if it comes back, that’s your answer.
Last time I spoke to my server host about it, he went off on how much he/they hate Firefox - it is also the browser that takes the longest to adjust to any discourse software changes
Yeah, the problem at least with Chrome is that it is a bloated beast. Looking at Activity Monitor, Firefox, with ~10 tabs running, and Chrome with one run neck and neck for CPU %.
Has anyone used Brave? Maybe I should ask that in Asylum.
Do you have a bunch of extensions on the browser?
I use Brave on my iPhone reading WB and it’s….ok. The only ongoing annoyance is that it occasionally lands you at the bottom of the page when you click into a thread rather than your next unread post.
No.
I’m a Firefox user (on both Android and Windows, with a handful of extensions always running on Windows), and I haven’t seen anything unusual, myself.
FF is “fine” for me. “” are because it is a memory hog - it will happily take several gigabytes. No recent changes in behaviour for WB or anything else
