Maybe I've installed too many plugins? I have close to 20.

Edit: It was just an issue on Arch Linux.

No, I am 40 plugins all active and they have not changed my browser load time almost at all.

Make sure there are no other issues. If you are on Arch Linux, there is a problem with xdg-desktop-portal-gnome that if installed will slowdown loading of many programs.

If you're on ubuntu, try starting it from terminal instead. If it starts immediately, then it's a snap issue. Not sure if it's already been addressed tho
