- AsyncAwait 6y agoMicrosoft doesn't have a browser today, it's just a repackaged Chrome supporting the same Blink monopoly. I am honestly surprised Firefox on Windows is slow for you. I don't personally use Windows, but many on here say it works well there since v57.
- cancerSpreads 6y agoI have tried to fix this slow loading problem. Happening on 2 separate gaming laptops with SSDs. Maybe I don't know what to Google.
- Drdrdrq 6y agoTry to DuckDuckGo "why is Firefox slow on Google sites" - or just try to guess the answer...
- DaiPlusPlus 6y agoBlink isn’t a monopoly... yet.
- ethagnawl 6y agoIs this still true in Firefox >= 57?
- lawn 6y agoFor what it's worth I don't experience slow loading with Firefox on Windows, or any notable slowdown in any way.
- shadowgovt 6y agoI definitely do. FF being perceivably slower than Chrome continues to keep me off it.
- kaetemi 6y agoI only notice this on certain Google sites.
- neop1x 6y agoStart Firefox in the Profile selector and try using a fresh new profile. Or start in safe mode. Some old, forgotten configuration or addons are sometimes the cause. For example a privacy-enhancing addon CleanURLs disables ETag functionality by default. So all sites using ETag for caching content won't be cached. Big loss.
