The quality of Firefox on Windows as software is much to be desired.

Due to slow loading, I'm considering whatever they call the Microsoft browser today.

[AsyncAwait]

Microsoft doesn't have a browser today, it's just a repackaged Chrome supporting the same Blink monopoly.

I am honestly surprised Firefox on Windows is slow for you. I don't personally use Windows, but many on here say it works well there since v57.

I have tried to fix this slow loading problem. Happening on 2 separate gaming laptops with SSDs.

Maybe I don't know what to Google.

Try to DuckDuckGo "why is Firefox slow on Google sites" - or just try to guess the answer...

[DaiPlusPlus]

Blink isn’t a monopoly... yet.

For what it's worth I don't experience slow loading with Firefox on Windows, or any notable slowdown in any way.

[shadowgovt]

I definitely do. FF being perceivably slower than Chrome continues to keep me off it.

I only notice this on certain Google sites.

Start Firefox in the Profile selector and try using a fresh new profile. Or start in safe mode. Some old, forgotten configuration or addons are sometimes the cause. For example a privacy-enhancing addon CleanURLs disables ETag functionality by default. So all sites using ETag for caching content won't be cached. Big loss.

Is this still true in Firefox >= 57?

Not in my experience.
