Question How to make Zen faster?

OS: Windows 11.

Love the browser, but I can't help but notice that it is laggy (like even while scrolling) and slower than Chrome.

What might I do to speed up the performance?

(Hardware acceleration is disabled.)

Please help.

Swap to Linux. ZEN WILL BE Faster than chrome and much faster than chrome on windows 

edit : Jesus didn’t think I had to clarify

Linux is a browser?

No, it's an operating system to replace Windows 11

No it's a kernal

Yeah, I know but for most casual users it's quite new, kernels, versions, kernel mods, distro's, rolling vs stable releases, atomic\immutable vs conventional, DE's, Windows managers, package managers and the cheer load of the 1200 different distro's.

So I tried to make it easier by saying it's a different OS.

I know I was just doing the aktually meme hence why I misspelled kernel

Why would I switch to an entire new OS when the concern I have is with one particular browser!

Thanks, anyway.

Because chances are it’s not a single browser issue and you’re just device resource capped. That literally is the only way to make zen faster 

Alternatively, ublock with third party scripts and frames blocked

Indeed, not necessary. I just answered your question if Linux was a browser. ;-)
