Then everything will run only on CPU and HTOP will tell the real story,
you'll likely have heaps of threads spawn, and some idea what it's doing
(less hidden then when GPU is processing).
 

Disabling the GPU leads to broadly the same behavior, but I'll have to
watch for a while to be sure. I don't think it's an improvement 8-(

Have you tried falkon (lighter weight QTWebEngine based Chromium - KDE
project work) or iridium (stripped out Google BS code version of
chromium)? Do they load the page you're trying to get?

Looks like neither is available for 32-bit RaspiOS. There does seem
to be a 64-bit version of Falkon available, I'll try that on my Pi5:

At the moment the "loading" icon is spinning with a tab label saying
data:text/html;charset=U and falcon:start in the URL bar...nothing more.
Doesn't look very promising....

Thanks for writing!
