For me it's the dark reader extension. Which slows down loading a lot. Try turning it off and compare.
There a lot of discussion about it online
Strange, I have dark reader but no issues with loading times.
Also for me. Makes everything very laggy.
Should come with a warning as you don't immediately notice it right away, but then in the following weeks you compare the loading speed of Vivaldi (that has a similar built-in function) and Firefox and you will notice the lag
yeah that addon hits hard
Thanks, I have the same problem and I'll try removing dark reader
Dark reader is not the only reason, but it is also a major one. It is a performance hog even on desktop
