Hacker News Reader

This exactly. On Firefox Nightly, time to first interaction for me is 30 seconds.

I've found myself going to gmail.com, searching for something, and then waiting 30 seconds for "Loading..."to transform to "Something's not right". I've just started doing all reading on the Android app.

It's still easier for me to write at my laptop than on my phone, so this miserable experience happens to me multiple times a week. I've started to deeply despise the webapp.

Use an IMAP client.

That is a solution to my problem. Thanks for the tip.

I was seeing this when they first forced the new interface a few weeks ago. The performance improved quite a bit when I killed all my firefox processes and restarted it. It's still not great, but it's tolerable.

Thunderbird is real fast.

came here to say that.
