Install from your distribution package manager (Recommended)

If anyone has any sort of advice on this, I would be very appreciative if you could share it.

I do t think this has anything to do with it, but the first thing I did was install ublock origin. I’m pretty sure it’s not supposed to be this slow, but there is very little information on the internet about people using Firefox on Chromebook (because Chromebook’s only use is browsing the internet with Chrome), so I can’t find a good explanation as to why it is so slow, nor any solution. It runs slower than when I had over 50 tabs open across three windows on Chome. It also takes forever to load any new webpage, and it took a solid 3 minutes just to launch the browser. Other actions, such as scrolling, are similarly slow.

I tried to play a Youtube video to test how it would work, and it ran at 5 fps at best. The bigger problem I have is that it is absurdly slow, to the point of unusabilty. I used this guide to try and make it smaller, but it’s still nearly twice as thick as what I’m used to, and still with an entire bar of dead space above my tabs. Like, three times as thick as what I’m used to. The lesser problem was that the toolbar was way too big. I decided to test it out a bit, and found two problems with it, a lesser one and a greater one. There was something I was a bit worried about, that being that my computer was a Chromebook, but I found a nice tutorial on how to install it. I’m not sure if this is the place to ask, but I’m not sure where I’d go.īasically, because I’ve heard Chrome is getting rid of Adblock support, I decided I should probably switch to Firefox.
