Who said anything about video? That’s it’s own can of worms.
Peertube or whatever, maybe maximal in FHD. Maybe with mpv, that one supports yt-dlp and has extensive support for low-level adjustments. Also, there’s slim native Youtube browsing clients.
He didnt explicitly, but watching media is one of the main things people do in browsers no?
When someone asks about a lighting fast browser experience for his specs, and you say “no problem” one would expect one can use websites, including ones that serve videos no?
Saying yeah, fast browser? no problem!
But then referring to yt-dlp for videos is a little misleading no?
I’d don’t think you find most videos on peertube at this point of time, and I’m hesitant if it will run fast with those specs, even considering peertube is less bloated than YouTube.
I think you mistake this for a competition? One of the most JS-bloated sites in existence is no benchmark for a amenic system, no matter the webbrowser. There are native youtube browsers & viewers for this.
Dude there is someone asking for a “lighting fast browser experience” on specs which will not deliver that for most websites most people use.
An honest reply IMHO is to state what will work and what will not.
You set false expectations when basically telling him “yeah no problem”.
I try to differentiate this picture by showing what caviots there are.
The reality is: if you are a tech savy person, only use a subset of websites, to which most of the popular websites (youtube, Netflix, prime, insta, etc.pp.) don’t belong, you can get something to work.
Do I use silicon-valley websites or think they are good? No!
But someone who asks such questions is probably not someone who only thinks of HTML only websites and the like when wanting a fast browser.
I try to give honest advise and show that a lighting fast browsing experience is not the same as “you can visit some websites with very light loads and need to close the browser, open terminal and yt dlp, download the video and watch it in a lightweight video player”.
Its not about competition it’s about actually helping the person looking for advice.
So what site do you use with this Setup to watch HD Videos fast, responsive and without Stutter, lag oder tearing? Cant be youtube

Could you suggest a couple of those slim native youtube browsing clients ?
I’m currently sorting the AUR clients out, but a few in the official repos:
Edit: i’ve given up; there’s around 300 clients / downloaders in the AUR
