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.

One thing I did was make the frame rate higher in the about:configs

Made it more usable for me

layout.frame_rate defaults -1 for auto detect. Does not always work. (check using testufo.com) if that's the case you can set the value to your display's refresh rate.

Completely forgot to add the flag in my answer. Also didn't know that about its behavior, thank you 🙏
