Ugh time for my first google chrome rant... thing...

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, finished an arch linux install, fixed my slow internet connection in linux, installed only the things I need, vs code and google chrome but fuck me!

Google chromes performance is sinking like a rock, dropping about 25-40% of frames in youtube, slow page loading and the sort.

Installed firefox to ensure it wasn't my system and its all running perfect, I don't like using firefox and want to go back to the warmth of chrome, anyone able to help on this one :-(

    Looks like you need to try Opera (or Chromium)

    @Artemix I know it's heavy but on all my previous installations it's been fine

    Try inox, it's (Chrome - Google)

    Oh, try this:
    Get rid of Chrome, and join the dark side of the force (qutebrowser or pure lynx)
    Google is evil

    @dontPanic Yeah, qutebrowser's really fucking awesome.

    I would probably use IE before Chrome

    Which DE? I had issues with video playback in Gnome, but it's smooth in KDE.. I don't remember if I tried switching to Xorg in Gnome though.. could be related to Wayland.

    @vincetrot I'm on gnome over xorg at the moment, might try another after work.
