    I know you are being sarcastic, but still how do you get .7 seconds from that list? Jetstream2 measures workloads not latency so did you just pick a random value to make your point?

    The point is simple. I use Firefox and every morning I use it for opening three different folders, each containing 18/20 bookmarks at the same time. This takes up to 5/6 seconds, with VPN use. Any person who believes that he needs a faster browser for such work, needs something completely different....
    So any other reaction than sarcasm would be inadequate... :rolleyes:

    I found they have updates for the browser for Win 7.... and all kinds of articles about it.
    Is someone using Opera and can share his/her experience?

    Thank you, but that has nothing to do with my question, especially after Gno's answer...

    Mozilla Firefox ESR 115.17.0 is out.

    If it fails to install via "Help - About Firefox", you will need to manually download and install it.

    I cannot play any Widevine DRM-Content on Windows 7 any more. I came here and tried Firefox-portable-132.0-x64-Win7.7z. It runs fine, but still doesn't play Widevine-DRM any more.
    Also not my Opera nor my Vivaldi - up to 2 weeks ago all was fine.
    Specifically I can't use Magenta TV any more and this test site also doesn't play the DRM example from demo.castlabs.com

    Any ideas to solve this?

    I also now downloaded ESR 115 portable and got things finally running again! But only after spoofing the User Agent to version 130, which was quite a pain in the ass since my User Agent Switcher extension, which I have been using on all browsers since forever didn't seem to work. There is no icon available anywhere. Finally I figured out that I can click in the Extension in the extension icon and get the UI and it works. Thank you for the advice. All the Widevine stuff seemed to be installed ok on all the other browsers as well, but somehow stopped working...
