Yeah, most of this article is complaints about the web browsing experience. I'm a little puzzled. My main use case for the Raspberri Pi is little robot projects or home automation, etc, so I don't really care about the web browser. It would be nice if they had software compatibility with the Raspberri Pi though, if you could just put Raspbian on there, as that would allow them to leverage all the work that's been put into that and reduce ecosystem fragmentation a bit.
- magicnmonkey 8y agoI never found Raspberry Pi 3B+ to have less laggy browsing, on YouTube it drops frame and sometimes video just hangs while audio keeps playing. I am using Orange Pi 3 for a Router, which filters traffic/does DNS filtering too. It has 5gbps USB3 and true Gigabit ethernet.
- zwieback 8y agoAgreed, I use Pis a lot not because it's the fastest or cheapest or whatever but because of its popularity. If a not-quite-compatible board came out at the same price point that was twice as fast and had twice as much memory I might use it if I had a specific use case and enough time to sink into making it work. From the other testimonials it sounds like the Orange Pi is a reasonable choice but the performance premium doesn't convince me.
