PostmarketOS site EndeavourOS fourm Arch Wiki (lately it’s very slow on Firefox) Manjaro fourm
Archlinux site has been targeted by a DDoS attack recently and apart from that it always works great on any browser/engine
Chrome is just faster than Firefox. I use Firefox, but I do it despite its performance, not because of it.
In the 6 years I’ve been with Firefox on Linux on my 9-year-old laptop, I could count on both hands the number of sites that didn’t render correctly, and on one hand the number that didn’t run or weren’t performant.
Maybe I’m just lucky, but I definitely feel for folks who are stuck with Chrome and all those ads.
postmarketOS and Arch wiki? That’s very weird, aren’t both plain mediawiki? Works really well on my Firefox. Even works on SeaMonkey.
EndeavourOS/Manjaro forum probably uses Discourse… I don’t get why people like that forum software :/

feature packed with a really clean and user friendly UI + each distro can easily customize it to add lots of their own brand identity (Manjaro especially appreciates this).
I don’t have a problem with it not loading correctly, and it loads quickly even on somewhat slow internet (using Firefox).
it feels like a “web app” more than a website. Like, it somehow needs to “load” after loading the page… unlike classic forum softwares that just instantly show the pre-rendered page.
this is personal preference but the ui also feels way too ‘simple’, hard to navigate and has low info density. i guess this is how more people nowadays prefer things to work

I kind of like this behavior. If you’re writing a complex website with user posts, comments, tags, and other nifty stuff and want it to stay modular it’s almost guaranteed that you’ll end up with this loading behavior (unless you want to SSR everything).

Don’t know about that, I find it easy to navigate with the consistent sidebar elements. Searching for posts is easy since they’re usually well tagged and have good titles. Searching for solutions and checking out community contributions and votes is about 90% of my use case for a forum. Maybe you have different use cases.
