Streaming on default browsers

[Jade Kali]

I notice when I use Firefox as my browser for my radio stream I never lag and I had a full room yesterday.

Whenever I use my default browser (Avast Secure)....I lag a half to sometimes a full song behind what everyone else is listening to in the room.

Is this a common issue?.....or just me?

If i remember, avast browser constantly check for virusses and it takes some bandwidth. maybe it comes from that.

I had the issue when using the McAfee web advisor plugin and like you found Firefox to be a better, more responsive  browser. Even for viewing local apps like my sound module’s mixing desk it’s  not as laggy as others, saying that I’ve only used the plug-in with edge and chrome (yeah, yeah not the best but I use them to compare and test security  stuff  )

It’s odds on everything passing through the avast browser is being analysed for bad stuff via a cloud based database, which can slow down traffic. 

Could be a simple case of adding your streaming url as an exclusion or trusted site so it’s not hammered with scan requests. 
 

If you try that, let us know the outcome
