    Dude there is someone asking for a “lighting fast browser experience” on specs which will not deliver that for most websites most people use.

    An honest reply IMHO is to state what will work and what will not.

    You set false expectations when basically telling him “yeah no problem”.

    I try to differentiate this picture by showing what caviots there are.

    The reality is: if you are a tech savy person, only use a subset of websites, to which most of the popular websites (youtube, Netflix, prime, insta, etc.pp.) don’t belong, you can get something to work. Do I use silicon-valley websites or think they are good? No! But someone who asks such questions is probably not someone who only thinks of HTML only websites and the like when wanting a fast browser.

    I try to give honest advise and show that a lighting fast browsing experience is not the same as “you can visit some websites with very light loads and need to close the browser, open terminal and yt dlp, download the video and watch it in a lightweight video player”.

    Its not about competition it’s about actually helping the person looking for advice.
