With lazy loading disabled through the new flag, the performance is significantly worse than it was in version 3. Indeed, in the latter, 7 years worth of past sessions were loaded in about 3 seconds. In version 4, this takes roughly 20 seconds. In addition, the whole interface becomes extremely sluggish. Search input is very laggy and the tab lists are slow to load when navigating between sessions. Also, after performing a search and clearing the search string, the entire saved collections list is loaded from scratch (for another 20 seconds).
Is there no way to simply restore version 3's behavior when disabling lazy loading through the experimental flag?
By the way, are the flag settings persistent or do they have to be set whenever the browser is restarted?
Thank you,
