Sorry to hijack, but can anyone help me with my issue?
I'm using librewolf and since about a week or two I noticed a speed issue. Overall my internet is fast, way faster then I need in fact, but websites load at a unreasonably slow speed.
When opening anything librewolf just sits there loading for a few second (probably up to ~10) then page opens fine. Video playback works great too. What could be the issue?
Could be DNS?
Nah, it can't possibly be DNS....
Narrator: It was DNS. It's always DNS.
It's almost never DNS, except when it is.
Try setting your DNS to adguards default servers and see if that helps.
Those addresses are 94.140.14.14 and 94.140.15.15.
If you don't want to do that you could always set it to 1.1.1.1 but adguards DNS servers also help filter ads so that's nice.
I don't know. If I use chrome on the same device there are no issues. You can't be certain but I think it's not DNS.
That might be evidence in favour of it being a DNS issue. Google Chrome doesn't always use the system's DNS.
Good to know, but for now it seems like the issue solved itself. Will report later if anything changes.
Do you use many addons? Resetting everything to stock and reinstalling addons one by one is my go-to as occasionally your profile is the issue. Just backup your profile beforehand and there’s 0 loss, aside from like 20 minutes.
