Description of the issue:
I’ve noticed that for some time now my browser was slow on certain sites, such as Facebook or Ad libraries for Google And Meta. So I decided to reinstall my browser fresh. Then I added it back to sync with my other laptop. But the issue persisted.
I’ve found out by elimination that it’s caused by some of the sync options and some not.
To be honest I have no idea why theses sites didn’t work like they were supposed to, but I guess to know that you were able to reproduce it you’d need such indicator. I don’t see other ways of seeing if this occurs.
So far I’ve noticed that I can sync simple things such as:
- bookmarks
- settings
- reading list
- saved tab groups.
And Everything still works, but whenever I go above that, or decide to sync everything the browsers efficiency drops dramatically.
**Steps to Reproduce: **
- Connect a fresh instalment on a device to an existing sync chain.
- Either turn on sync everything, or (one or more) of other elements to sync that cause this issue.
- After refreshing the website, the sync has negatively affected the performance of the same websites that worked flawlessly before connecting to the sync chain.
Reproduces how often:
I’ve tried it multiple times and it’s the same every time, even after resetting the system OS to a clean state.
