So Anna confirmed general blocking of the CDN as the likely issue. As an experiment I just tried gentoo.org with firefox, setting assets.gentoo.org blocked in ublock-origin (ubo, tho in default-deny mode I originally had it allowed, thus this dance to be sure I had cached content cleared), saving that, closing firefox, clearing its cache (which I have on tmpfs anyway so it's always cleared on reboot), then going to gentoo.org once again. ubo is a "content blocker", with that functionality most popularly used for ad-blocking in default-allow, block blacklisted, mode, but more useful to those concerned with browser security because of its ability to block various malware and other irrelevent content (including ads in most cases as they're generally off-site hosted, tho for the security-aware that's really more a side effect) in (higher maintenance especially when first configuring for your commonly visited sites) default-deny, allow- configured-whitelisted, mode. Of course in your case you'd (at least partly) be using it to more instantly block what's timing out for you anyway, instead of either of the above... Anyway, with the above, ubo shows a number of assets.gentoo.org resources blocked, but the page appears to load fine, browse fine in my testing, etc. So you might try something like that. Tho that's said with the caveat that I don't normally have those issues here so I can't /properly/ test your situation, but it /should/ help. Note that I believe ublock-origin itself is now unavailable for chrome because it requires functionality that manifest-v3 in chrome blocks, but ublock-origin-lite is I read still available, and it should be fine with specific blocks (the missing chrome-mv3 functionality is apparently more global blocks as used to efficiently implement wider unwanted content and/ or ad-blocking). And of course there's other content/ad-blockers available as well that could probably do similar. Meanwhile, a number of other chromium-based browsers have also said they won't block that functionality in their mv3 implementation, so you might try them too if the ubo-lite version isn't enough but you prefer to stay chromium-based. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
