Ask HN:I've been forced to move to the new gmail,is it really slow for you too?

Yeah, try to switch to classic.

Everything is too big. The typography fucking sucks. Google has no taste

Even when ignoring the clunky UI, asynchronous background calls are much slower than in the old version. In almost 80% of cases, I now get a browser alert ("Are you sure you want to navigate away? Changes will be lost") when trying to close the tab a few seconds after performing an action (e.g. starring a message, mark as read). This never happened before and it's super annoying.

It infuriates me when they make me watch that little cartoon Gmail logo while I'm waiting for my inbox to appear...

I was forced to go to the new UI, everything looked too big on my desktop monitor. There was an option in the settings to revert to classic so I picked that. Back to normal. No incentive for me to change it.

It takes almost a minute to completely load in the latest Firefox Developer edition. Still very slow when done. In Chrome it works decently well, but still slower than Inbox and old Gmail.

I almost feel like I'm being forced to use Chrome if I wanted to see the new design.

Super slow here too. switched back to classic until they force me too. Really can't understand google on this. They hurt the product so badly and it create an opportunity for customers to consider leaving.

Yes, it's painfully slow.

Slow enough that it's making me think of just moving to a real client.

If feels like molasses, not sure where was Google QA team.

its super slow for the "Tasks" feature
