#which is annoying bcs ''inconsistent stability-problem'' is kind of hard to consistently prove or disprove without a test.

Hmm. Okay. So, it looks like my internet-trouble isn't solved, bcs twitch can still lag to the point where the chat freezes and stops updating.

(If the video stutters, it could be that it might be a streamer-based problem, but the chat itself breaking?)

Not great, because this means I have to call in and report this problem again. But also... hmm...

Youtube has been lagging for me. As in, the basic UI of youtube has been lagging and freezing in ways that feel very absurd. So I looked it up and-... Apparently youtube now has memory-leaks on firefox?

As in, if you watch a video, and then click on another video (in the same tab) congratulations, you're going to need to restart firefox to get rid of the inevitable lag. So the way around this is to never do that? And that might help with the problem?

Like, this is clearly not my internet-problem, but it does mean that something is happening with youtube in general for me, and since that's one of two streaming-sites that I actually watch?

Basically? It's possible that the freeze-stuttering might not just be an internet-connection thing, but also a site-hates-firefox thing. Which isn't exactly great news (bcs that's still a problem) but it makes me hesitant to restart my complaint until I figure out what the fuck is up with that.

Twitch having the same problem is a point against this theory, but then I don't know how twitch's code works. It's possible that they're cooperating for some dumbass (probably chrome-related) reason, and thus have the same problem with firefox.

(Not to mention the various warnings I keep getting in zoom-calls with my teacher about my "unstable internet".)

But yeah. I'm probably going to ignore this problem until after the holidays, because nobody will be trying to fix it before then anyway and hopefully the memory-leak thing can be patched up, letting me prove that the stream-problems are internet-related instead of browser-related.
