They are? My Linux PC have horrible perf (a 2014 Core M, 4gb RAM), and yet, Firefox opens instantly.


And Windows? And Chrome?


tbh, it's been 10 years I don't use Chrome... When I used Windows, my main browser was Edge, and was quite fast to open as far I remember, but I believe on Windows Edge stays open in background all the time anyway...


Also, what's "instantly", how much time exactly on a cold/hot start does it take after you press a key and a fully drawn/functional window is shown? Checked on an old Windows desktop (hot start), and while the empty window is shown in 0.8 sec (not too slow, but still not instant, those would be some old native apps taking 4 times less time), the fully drawn/functional window takes 2-3 sec, so definitely nothing instant
