I observed Linus setting up a 10gbps connection and checking speed with Ookla. He expressed frustration because the opposite server was capped at 3gbps. Does he realize his browser is being limited, not the other end?

The explanation highlights that most web browsers restrict download speeds to around 3Gbps. Using the Speedtest Desktop app can help bypass this cap. This limitation seems to have existed for a long time, affecting both file size limits and upload speeds in browsers. It could be linked to older 32-bit technology.
