Mad props for running completely smooth on Firefox Preview for Android. Drag to select, double click, window resize, everything just works perfectly. Why can't

    Very true. The ones that don't, I don't know what their excuse is. Maybe they thought they would add performance later. Maybe they pulled in dependencies willy-nilly without truly understanding the problem space. Maybe it's a result of the frantic rush to add features. Somehow it has become acceptable to keep users waiting for multiple seconds. It's crazy and often unnecessary. For example, I just built a trivia game PWA[0]. >1MB in size, including ~30 SVG illustrations. 7kb per game. Writing offline mode now, it will add ~1.45mb but only once, at "install" time. It's only MVP but it's already fast. Whatever the cause, it makes me very frustrated as a user and front ender.
