I’m not talking about an extra 10-15sec, but easily 2-3 full minutes (I’ve sat here with a timer checking) to load pages, sometimes not loading them at all. Particularly with login pages, but even just homepages.
Dropbox, Cloudflare, Various companies forums, My bank, Google; each of these sites and more I’ve had firefox either not load at all, or take so long I’ve been able to copy the link into Chrome, do what I need there, then come back to Firefox still ‘loading’ a blank white page.
I just don’t understand. I want to migrate away from Chrome and use Firefox, but it’s been unusably slow when it even loads anything at all.
P.S. In the time I’ve taken to write this (~5min) plus the time to decide to post and find this community firefox has still not loaded my cloudflare dash… (typed in the address, waited a while, gave up and came here but left it open)
/edit: I should note I have ublock installed, but I get the same results with it disabled most of the time.

2 years means I wouldn’t buy a new version of it but it’s quite common to buy a phone for up to a year before a replacement model arrives, so potentially this phone is just over a year old.
Not only that, but usually it gets security updates longer than that. Personally, I would expect a phone to last 3 years minim and be usable for 5.
Even with 2 years it’s not going to suddenly drop to 3 minutes to load a web browser, I’m calling network errors on this one
My S9+ is over 5 years old and pages only take 5-10 seconds to load, even with the dark mode add on
The A52 came with a decent SoC, two years won’t make it out of date.
Most google phones get security updates for 4 or 5 years. If you’re dumping phones after 2 years then you must like to spend unesessary amounts of money.
