This sounds really really wrong. I've achieved 900mbps speeds on quic+http3 and just quic... Seems like a bad TLS implementation? Early implementation that's not efficient? The CPU usage seemed pretty avg at around 5% on gen 2 epyc cores.

This is actually very well known: current QUIC implementation in browsers is *not stable* and is built of either rustls or in another similar hacky way.

Why am I beta testing unstable software?

You’re the one choosing to use it.

Okay, which browser doesn't come with it enabled by default? Chrome, Vivaldi, and Firefox do. Am I supposed to use Edge?
