  • On windows 11 or windows 10?

    The <win10 context menu is old and poorly designed. Each app that declares itself on the right click menu gets to hold up the entire menu for like 3 seconds each. So if you have one poorly designed app that can appear on that list your right click menu will be super slow. Try to go through the right click menu and disable each app that appears one by one until you find the culprit.

    Windows has this official tool, if you go to the explorer tab and find …/contextMenuHandlers section you can easily disable them one by one but i haven’t used it personally.

    Win11 tried to fix this and moved to a different model but in doing so made the first level right click menu functionally useless.





  • A huge chunk of FreeBSD and Linux development is done by salaried workers who want specific functionality. Microsoft is the biggest contributor to the Linux kernel for instance. I don’t think there is much apetite for that in web browsers. Linux is an industry leader in the server space, adding features to it that complement whatever you make for profit is a good move. Firefox is unfortunately barely relavent in the browser space, if your product relies on Firefox exclusive features it isn’t going to go well for you.
