Could anyone help me. I have a silly problem with wayland, using Firefox (tar.gz or snap are same, tried both, welp ubuntu option only has it, my fedora on Xorg using XFCE). When searching using bing.com, it likes to freeze. I only know from the ram usage, it suddenly surge till the OS can't put any memory or lack of RAM. I never encounter this in WIndows either nightly, beta, stable or on Fedora Xfce Xorg. I only see this problem in wayland.

My Firefox version is 117 on Linux both wayland or xorg and 119 for windows 10

I put the profiller on the link, I hope someone can point me, why this happen, and how to can overcome it. Thanks!

*probably if any Firefox dev, welcome. Thank you

They were caught selling data to Microsoft, which is a pretty stark contrast from their initial mission of being the anti-Google that respected your privacy.

yeah this is pretty much why I don't trust ddg as much. at the same time, I really haven't investigated ecosia that thoroughly, so it's possible they could be just as bad but afaik they at least haven't been in any controversies like that, so that's good enough for me right now
