Well the sync time is extremely long and the larger the Blockchain gets, the longer it takes. It's the price of Layer 1 privacy, but it's more annoying than waiting 10 minutes for a Bitcoin confirmation.
I prefer my privacy for just 10 minutes. If you use it regularly the sync is fast.

  1. open every once in awhile if you don't use it often
  2. use a wallet with background sync (Cake and Anonero have this)
  3. run your own Monero LWS

Okay if you don't use your wallet for a year that can happen after you open your wallet. But sync time is pretty fine if you use it on a daily or weekly base.
