It’s still a bit faster than VHBB, and it won’t happen every time you open the app, but it’ll happen often enough to (in my opinion) negate the supposed advantages of this app over the existing one. Unless I’m missing something, sooner or later when you repopulate the icons, it’ll be a bit of a wait. I’m just not quite sold on the “lightning fast” thing. Once up and running, the Better Homebrew Browser does look a bit better. It was developed using Sony’s own PlayStation Application Framework. It actually looks quite close to the Vita store.

Once there, everything runs smoothly, but nobody wants to wait that long, in this day and age, to access anything. It can take 5 to 10 minutes to get into the main “storefront”. One of the main gripes the community has had with VHBB is that is super slow to load. It has access to VitaDB and it’s quite powerful.
