I use Chrome. Works great. Not so much on other sites sometimes, but zero issues on e-file.

Yea, I think Wed is the worst day. Evenings seem to be the worst.

After you've done a few, they don't take that long to e-file. More so if you leave a few in draft. I'm sure you're right about the longer approval times.
