Hi,

You could ask the maintainer of Chromium (chromium@FreeBSD.org) if this is =
a known issue.
Or make some network dumps (see tcpdump and wireshark) and compare the netw=
ork traffic. Maybe one of them handles smaller packets or something like th=
at.

You can also look at this:
# netstat
Active Internet connections
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address          Foreign Address        (state)  =
 =20
tcp4       0      0 rpi4.thuis.DDDD..ssh   MacBonkers.thuis.55545 ESTABLISH=
ED
tcp4       0      0 rpi4.thuis.DDDD..jetdi monitoring.thuis.17925 ESTABLISH=
ED
udp6       0      0 2001-XXXX-YYYY-7.ntp   *.*                   =20
udp4       0      0 localhost.ntp          *.*                   =20

If Recv-Q contains a lot of bytes it means the application is not fast enou=
gh in handling the incoming traffic and the OS will throttle the traffic at=
 some threshold.

Regards,
Ronald.
