I upgraded my #Librem5 to PureOS Crimson.
Does anyone else experience slower app start times and additionally I can only watch YouTube videos in 144p resolutuion. Usually 360p was definitely fluent.
Is this a known issue?

On thr positive side of things:
- Camera is waaay better! It is a really solid camera now.
- Battery performance is better for me
- UI looks better in most places
- Fully functional dark mode

Which application do you use to watch YouTube videos? The native web browser? Several of our staff recommend @FreeTube which offers both native .deb packages and Flatpak versions!

@purism @FreeTube Just using the pre installed Firefox. I am just confused because with Byzantium I was able to watch way higher resolutions fluently. I can still test FreeTube but it still seems like there is something wrong.

I asked a PureOS developer about potential regressions. They said YouTube used to be much snappier in Epiphany on PureOS Crimson, too - that something must have changed server-side at some point.
