Are you on a new-ish machine?

  I would say so. It has a graphics card and an I5. It's not state of the art, but it's newish.

    Sites like (for example) new reddit or many things with infinite scroll on the typical phone in many countries is effectively a disaster. Sites that like to have fancy scroll or background effects are generally awful if you don't have a graphics card. I browse on a Celeron J4105 or a Pentium Gold sometimes (I use it to build some x32 bins) and JS-heavy sites cause full tab lockups that take minutes to resolve until anything is usable at all. Think of devices like this: https://www.bluproducts.com/devices/studio-x10-2022/ https://www.bluproducts.com/devices/studio-x10-2022/ This is a 2022 model, with 1 GB ram. On a Samsung Galaxy A03 if I swap between tabs in browser, HN will appear near instantly, I assume because it hasn't been evicted from memory, but anything heavier will take a few seconds and be a full page reload.

      Thank you for showing me this. I didn't even know that 1gb ram devices were created for consumer use outside of raspberry pi and the like. I will keep this in mind going forward.
