You ask for peace but your whole post is highly explosive. Honestly I'm still Solaris 11 user and I can assure you that on this OS situation with browsers is even worse than on OpenBSD. In fact I'm really surprised that chromium works on OpenBSD and you may be surprised that I even use that from time to time over ssh tuneled X11 connection to my testing OpenBSD box. So kudos to all the brave hearts who are working on browsers issue for OpenBSD! Back to your topic: if you write "...that work fine in Linux...so ridiculously slow when there are being run on OpenBSD" -- I'm afraid for this you would need to provide some hard real benchmark numbers. To me at least firefox run on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS/14.04 LTS, Solaris 11 and OpenBSD 6.1 more or less sucks in the same way: stupidly high memory consumption, with a ton of tabs open the browser become less and less responsive so the only chance is to exit it and rerun again. So far I blame firefox's javascript compiler since chromium behaves quite differently -- but this is only on OpenBSD/Linux so not comparison with Solaris here... So please provide scientific numbers of let say few page loads/reloads/program run in of your preferred website on Linux and OpenBSD on the exactly same hardware and do that in a verifiable way and post here. Otherwise so far your post is only about psychology and just your feeling...
