    Only Certain browsers are running slow


    Suddenly Edge/Firefox/Chrome as all running slow. No new programs, internet speed is 1gig up/down, robust mesh network orbi, and this is hardwired w/ cat 6. try to goto Costco or amazon, 10 seconds to load the webpage. Someone recommended Arc browser after I rebooted the system, changed dns, ensuring fireware was uptodate, cleared cache, changed profiles, etc etc So, arc is uper fast...what happened to edge/chrome/firefox...why so slow...

    Slow Browser

    Hi Susan,

    To address your concern, we would like to know the following:

    • Have you already performed a speedtest for your internet connection?
    • Does your other devices experience the same slowness in browsing?
    • Have you turned off your addons on your browsers?

    For the meantime, you can perform a reset on your Internet Explorer 11 / Microsoft Edge by following the steps on this

    link    .

    Let us know how it goes.

    Best regards.

    Running your Browser in a VM?

    • Install VMware Player or Virtualbox, VMware being faster in my experience
    • Create a VM with sufficent RAM HD and all CPU cores
    • Install Ubuntu/Linux Mint/Debian or some lightweight distro with Xcfe or LXDE
    • Install VMware/Virtualbox tools
    • Almost any distro comes with Firefox
    • Install Ublock Origin/Noscript/Ghostery
    • Disable cookies with a whitelist/use private browsing.
    In my experience, running a browser through a VM can slow down scrolling smoothness, video playback and increase ping delay
