I did the actual sane thing and looked at Wireshark. (I mostly forgot +to do this). Turns out, there actually was first a HTTPS type DNS request for furry.engineer, +followed by 5 seconds of "next to nothing", until the actual A/AAAA type DNS request. +Inbetween, there were a few adblock related DNS queries. + +Upon some searching of issues, I found this: + +{% image + img="https://pics.uvokchee.de/upload/2024/10/26/20241026151032-a27b1634.jpg" + alt="Screenshot of uBlock Origin settings" +%} + +It's simply uBlock Origin behaving "as intended" with the +"Suspend network activity until all filter lists are loaded". +As I have quite a few of them activated, it's no wonder this delay happens. + +I'll keep this setting activated anyway, even though the behavior is annoying. |
