Hello.
I'm using Firefox and Chromium (from packages) to browse the
internet on OpenBSD 6.3 (amd64).
The problem is that their performance in OpenBSD is very poor
compared to other OSes.
Loading pages is slow, watching online video is possible but the
responsiveness of the browser becomes awful.
Do I need additional settings to fix this?
In my opinion this is normal on OpenBSD
I am very surprised to hear that web browser performance is that bad
on OpenBSD. Actually my experience is quite the opposite -- it works
much better on OpenBSD than on my iMac. However, I don't know if I am
going only to old man web sites :) I have had ZERO problems going to
youtube and watching videos etc., from sites like washingtonpost.com
or globeandmail.ca or other news sites. Typically I use firefox-esr
but have also tested with tor-browser and chromium.
In case it helps, I am using KDE4 and have the following settings:
vijay.foretell.ca$ ulimit -a

/etc/login.conf has default values I think, since I don't recall
changing that. Here is my .profile in case it helps.
