Elliot Kirk  The current Edge browser on Windows 10 is super fast to launch. But your chrome based Edge behaves like Chrome when launched on Windows 10, and is not as fast to launch.

 

Could you retain the same Super fast launch time in the new Edge Chromium browser too ?

    Well, this ⬆ is different OR "There's a 1st time for everything" OR "There's an exception to every rule"

    I suggest something else must be afoot, here, to explain what you're experiencing. 

    I agree that I, always, have found Edge fast, stable & snappy.  However, everyone including myself, without exception, until now, have been super impressed with the speed of Edge C.  It is being reported as significantly, noticeably faster than other browsers... not only are Folks saying it's substantially speedier than Edge, but, others, as well.  People are jumping ship from FF, Chrome & more for the stronger, more rapid performance of Edge C.  Certainly, my own Dev & Canary both load in less time than my Edge running on the same hardware.

    Maybe tell us more about the specific details of your system & set-up to help sort out why it is slow for you.

    Cheers,
    Drew

      Everyone, without exception is a very strong statement, and incorrect as well. I myself reported in my first message here that it indeed feels slower than Edge, but I assumed it was due to the beta status of the browser at the moment. 

       

      I´m testing the "new edge" on a Dell XPS-13 (first revision I think). I am not using any extensions in any of the browsers. Startup times seem almost equal with the new edge definitely feeling just a touch slower. For me the big difference is in scrolling and response to touch where the new edge is definitely quite a bit behind. Scrolling is choppier. Where Edge was silky smooth the new edge is noticeably choppier when scrolling, it is even slight worse than chrome in this regard. Touch response is probably the worst experience where Edge really was far ahead of chrome in response to touch (this I experienced on my previous Surface Pro 3 as well), and the new edge feels much much worse.

        I will say that was not the best choice of words on my part.  Indeed, we have read people having Touch issues with this beta.

        And the smooth scrolling or the lack thereof, it is known.  I believe it's, still, lingering on the  "Coming soon" list.

        Some, certainly, have excitedly said it was fast(er).  But, yes, it's not the case for all.

        I misspoke.  Point taken.

        Cheers,
        Drew
