MicrosoftNew blog post on performance improvements in Microsoft Edge 81
Hi All,
We posted a new blog article today that talks about some of the optimizations we have made in Microsoft Edge 81. Swing over to the blog site, https://blogs.windows.com/msed...
It looks like an opposite event and my results to speedometer 2.0 are nowhere consistent with the rest of the world. could be my Machine, My Internet, VPN? But everything is different on my Machine!
Version 80.0.361.62 (Official build) (64-bit) -108.x
Version 82.0.432.3 (Official build) dev (64-bit) -102.x
I have noticed that uBlock Origin has been cutting down on my speedometer 2.0 numbers, but only in edge. I haven't encountered the same differences in other browsers like Vivaldi or Brave. And this was using either version of uBlock Origin - the one on the Microsoft store or the one from the Chrome store.

Hi esarhaddon, it is also important to turn off, or disable all extensions. These can make a huge difference to the speed of the browser. Just look at what Pylot_Light saw in their posts above. Thanks - Elliot
esarhaddon It could be all 3 of those things. Cheaper computers will be slower. VPNs create latency in the network, and faster networks will give better results than slower ones.
cjc2112 I would encourage you to ask what a person is using before you make comments about cheap computers. I had an Asus Z390e gamer with 32 gig Gskill DDR4-3600 and 3 M.2 NVME drive with 300 MBbs D/l internet. NOw I have an ASUS Z490e Gamer with the same other components as above and for some stupid reason, I don't think this is cheap junk!
Even with My VPN, I am running in excess of 180 Mbs D/L speeds and in excess of 300Mbs W/O and you are telling me that you have stated something relevant as to why I can't stream videos W/O buffering?
- Are you still having buffering issue on Edge 86?
because this topic is old and talking about Edge 81.
