I have been very happy with DuckDuckGo, and it has helped me break free of routines that I did not feel safe with. Especially the small flame icon that would clear all history, cookies and cache from websites that are not “fireproofed” was great!

But today I had to do a quick example on Tinkercad (3D browser design tool) and it was so slow! I thought that my PC maybe was busy doing something (yeah its an older PC but not THAT old), but when I open the same page on my now parked Opera browser, everything went smoothly.

I am ok with using Opera, or any other browser for 3D work, as I don’t really do all that much of it, but I just feel gutted to find out that my now favorite browser sucks so bad at something, not to mention the Microsoft Edge processes when that is the last of any browser that I would choose to use

EDIT: I found out that this was due to hardware acceleration was off, on my DuckDuckGo browser. I had turned it off, because the fonts on websites looked blurry when it was on. The solution was to turn off antialising on the Nvidia control panel, and restart the PC. It is now working well!

      Sorry - I don’t expect commenters to go through replies to other commenter’s so I thought it was the most reasonable thing to do

        I really don’t understand why you got downvoted, you’re having like 30 conversations at the same time, no problem to copy of of your answers to save some writing formulating time

            For me it sounds more like: i like these features, what your option can offer, let’s discuss

            I mean, other commenters can read the post, they can see other options, but they all just flood “Firefox”, with no explanation or comparison, etc

            To a very lazy and uninformative message, there a very lazy and uninformative reply
