Same here. My Internet was so bad the other day that loading a web article that was already in my cache would hang indefinitely. I enabled "Offline mode" in my browser, and it loaded the article instantly. On macOS, launching Firefox or Chrome would just hang indefinitely (without displaying a window) when in lie-fi, presumably checking for updates or something.

I know there's a push to get software to support an offline mode, but I wish there was a similar push to improve software when in lie-fi.
