Hi Riccardo, One thing to consider a little off topic... is that hangs can be related to firewall / proxy rules / systems in place (to block advertising/ other content ) being filtered, depending on the method of blocking requests made by the browsers to specific web application sites (and their java script collateral) may actually have to timeout (rather than be refused quickly) and so the web page / application can appear to hang,
network layer (ip) blocking can lead to request timeouts which can really slow down an interactive web app chrome with debug / developer tools can show you this issue (of network timeouts for certain applications I hope this helps, Tom Smyths On Mon, 6 Feb 2023 at 15:41, Riccardo Mottola <riccardo.mott...@libero.it> wrote: > Hi, > > Rodrigo Readi wrote: > > Can someone recommend a lightweight Browser that support javascript? > > "Lightweight" is a hard term here.. .there are several options.
