The big problem that I see, and it applies to any browser, is that every page is loading tons of crap from ad or tracking sites including twitter or facebook. When one of these sites stalls the whole page stalls and it is a chronic problem. As an interim fix I block these domains using my host file pointing to localhost 127.0.0.1 but sometimes that stalls the loading because it doesn't get a reply so it waits for the timeout. I am thinking of setting up a web server on my LAN that replies 404 or 204 to all queries and pointing the worst ad/tracking/social domains there so I can load the content not the dross.

I've seen other work from agencies with no 3rd party dependencies that use all this crazy JS and animations that unless you're on a top line MacBook, it's just sluggish. I've been using the web for a long time, and while loading was slow, I don't remember UIs feeling so sluggish and unresponsive.
