To this day, I'm still using Chrome Beta and it's still fast the way I'm used to in the past. Of course, I also use the normal one occasionally because most of my SNS accounts are logged in there.
(BTW, isn't it amusing how it shows how much I'm consuming media from Japan because I'm using the term SNS instead of SocMed??? I also pronounce PUBG as P-U-B-G instead of PUB-G because I'm used to hearing PockySweets say it that way on his gaming channel XD.. It's like that thing, "you're what you read" or something like that haha)
This is just me thinking out loud but I thought of the possibilities that Chrome is slow because I logged in to my SNS accounts there. I don't know why I feel that way but... as I'm trying to limit my access to Twitter & Tumblr, I don't really care at this point. I do have reddit and Pinterest logged in though (in Chrome Beta), but that doesn't affect the speed so far.
Speaking of Pinterest... I used to like seeing ONLY the stuff I'm following in my home feed, now it depends on what you search and look at which is ridiculous! I didn't think much of it before but once I opened some screenshot images on phone (you know, shots of posts from Tumblr, Twitter, Instagram etc), that's the only thing that appear there and I hate it so much. Hiding pins one by one is tiring. Searching for things I do want to see and click on it (so it looks like I "open" it, I guess) helped lessen the damage made from those screenshot images (in my case: Bookshelf, Japan spring, Ohno Satoshi... :P). Still had to manually hide the ones I don't want to see but it looks better now. Oh yeah, also unfollowed most of the people and boards I followed before because... there's no point anymore.
Twitter has that moments too. Kept showing and/or recommending me tweets I don't care about. I block all accounts that appear as promoted tweets. I find the Interests in the setting most annoying because I can't turn off all at once...
*sigh*
Youtube... this one, while not 100% perfect, I take great care at "controlling" what I get recommended with. That means I delete any unwanted videos in my watch history. Or I don't watch anything I don't want to be recommended with later. Watching it using incognito mode is an option too. Also diligently mark any videos/channels I'm not interested in with "Don't recommend channel". I prefer not to get into rabbit holes on Youtube.
I don't really have a point to make with this post lol.. this is just me ranting about online stuff I guess.
