I'm having this issue with every Firefox based browser (Firefox, Floorp, Librewolf, ...)..
Whenever I leave the browser open for a few days (for example when I only close the lid on my laptop), it slowly becomes almost unresponsive on heavier sites such as Youtube, especially with more than one YOutube tab open in the background - to the state where a simple pause of seek takes several seconds, sometimes up to maybe 20 - or when the tab is still playing the video even though it was closed seconds ago... etc.. basically, there's a lag with every action on Youtube. The same browser on other pages, working just fine, everything else on the computer is also working just fine.
This is how it works on my slower i3-6300 based laptop (my bed companion), it's a bit better with a newer and more powerful hardware, but still visible.. and annoying.
It is not a lack of RAM, once it starts to behave like this, I can close those tabs and it still happens even with only one youtube tab open. According to the "top" command, I have plenty of RAM available, with another huge amount only occupied by the cache.
And when I restart the browser, even with 20-30 youtube tabs loaded, it works just fine, for a day or two, then it starts to slow down...
I am obviously using an adblock, so it crossed my mind that's the reason but honestly, I'm not sure what's more annoying - a slow browser that can be "cured" by a restart or the internet with ads 🙂
Anyone with the same experience? Or maybe even a solution?

@simulo In general, my typing speed is rarely the bottleneck of my dev. Perhaps that's because I type at a pretty reasonable pace, and I use languages with very low amounts of boilerplate (and where nearly any boilerpoint can be abstracted away) and in the rare places where there are boilerplate (srfi-9 records come to mind) I have editor support to make typing them in fast through yasnippet.
In general, typing speed tends to correspond to the rate at which I can think, and a lot of the pauses come from needing to get up, pace around, think about the problem, get some tea, sit down again after a revelation. Or playing around with the idea iteratively and discovering the solution.
Lots of people are talking about LLMs as typing assistants and I just generally don't feel like that's a thing I need (excepting the RSI aspects; I do think more voice-driven editor piloting would be a good option to use sometimes)

curl left HackerOne after being flooded with AI slop reports
They left for GitHub, but are now returning to HackerOne because it's a better platform to handle reports
