Waaaaaaay better privacy, faster than chrome, don’t need to worry about them killing mandatory add ons so they can push ads, also the add ons just work better but maybe that’s confirmation bias.

I’m sure there’s more I’m forgetting

Sorry to hijack, but can anyone help me with my issue?

I'm using librewolf and since about a week or two I noticed a speed issue. Overall my internet is fast, way faster then I need in fact, but websites load at a unreasonably slow speed.

When opening anything librewolf just sits there loading for a few second (probably up to ~10) then page opens fine. Video playback works great too. What could be the issue?

I don't know. If I use chrome on the same device there are no issues. You can't be certain but I think it's not DNS.

That might be evidence in favour of it being a DNS issue. Google Chrome doesn't always use the system's DNS.

Good to know, but for now it seems like the issue solved itself. Will report later if anything changes.
