Why is everything in my browser so stupidly loving slow in Windows 10? what the hell is going on? I've tried all the fixes and now I can only thing this is some sort of punishment from our lord jesus christ. Or are they trying to push us into using Edge, out of sheer desperation?

also websites in general just keep getting fatter:

quote:

Jeremy Keith pointed out to me that the page describing AMP is technically infinite in size. If you open it in Chrome, it will keep downloading the same 3.4 megabyte carousel video forever.

If you open it in Safari, where the carousel is broken, the page still manages to fill 4 megabytes.

These comically huge homepages for projects designed to make the web faster are the equivalent of watching a fitness video where the presenter is just standing there, eating pizza and cookies.

The world's greatest tech companies can't even make these tiny text sites, describing their flagship projects to reduce page bloat, lightweight and fast on mobile.

I can't think of a more complete admission of defeat.

yeah in most machines anymore, hard drive read and write speed is your bottleneck. most all low-end processors and ram these days will spit back any and all mundane tasks instantly.

get a cheapo smaller solid state and put your OS on it. then use your caveman spinny drive for bulky poo poo like music, porn vids, and steam games.

I dunno OP, I disabled updates in Windows 7 a long time ago (if it aint broken why fix it). So I didn't get the forced upgrade to the bad operating system.

Disclaimer - I did actually upgrade to Windows 10 for about a week, but it couldn't handle HDMI audio after the computer went to sleep so I went back to Windows 7 where that worked...

How come all those resources and $$ Microsoft has don't translate into excellent products ? I assume they can afford the best programmers in the world. People who grew up using Windows and are fully aware of the stuff that was wrong. How can these screw-ups happen ? Surely they have computers they test the stuff on.

Feels like programing a good OS is more difficult than the Atomic or Apollo programs. Those were difficult, but they threw money at it until it worked. Microsoft can do the same, but they don't somehow. :confused:

It really is amazing. Firefox brings my laptop to a complete crawl if I dare to load a Youtube video or have more than five tabs open, but I can run Sony Vegas to render 1080p movie edits and it does that just fine. I don't get it.

Yeah I gave Windows 10 a chance but my desktop refused to go into sleep mode, which worked fine again when I reverted back to Windows 7. Which doesn't even many any sense because they use the same loving drivers.

i've used firefox on windows, osx, and linux, and on every single one firefox quickly chomps up as much RAM as that OS will allow and then just sits there running the CPU freeing up little chunks of memory then immediately reallocating them. it does this infinitely until you close it. even if you have just 1 tab running, on windows 7 that's a 1.5 gigabyte tab.

There's a TON of reverification going on because Microsoft is paranoid about someone creating a flase update server to get shady poo poo put on people's computers without their knowledge

As they hate competition
