Download Speed - Too slow in comparison...
Hello guys, recently i've been using the Edge Dev for my daily routine.
But recently, i realize that when i download something on Edge is too slow comparing with Chrome.
Seens that my Edge "limits" the speed of my download.
I download a Google Drive file, separately, with only one Browser running at a time.
Chrome: i can download around 10MB/s
Edge: around 2MB/s
I already try to re-install the Edge Dev and clear the settings, but keeps happening the same thing...
I've tried to reset my ISP Settings.
Someone can help me?
Thanks in advance.

Just why it's time wasting.
Yep...This is my result when using edge beta
Did you test in another browser?
Just asking, but your internet is normally that speed or you mean that is limited, such as mine?
- I'm testing it on Edge Canary...

Hi, try this:
go to the edge://flags/
and enable this flag, then restart the browser and retry your download.
Yes, i've done this before too, and with the option On or Default didn't make any difference.
- Have you tried download a file from Google Drive Not at the same time?
in your post you mentioned you downloaded the file at the same time in both browsers but that can cause problems, Google Chrome can take more bandwidth and leave little bandwidth for Edge.
I did a few side by side tests, and my speeds were more or less the same on each browser. I ran multiple tests at multiple times. However I used Edge Canary and not Edge Dev.
This is one of my results. Blue bar is Chromium and the yellowish bar is Edge Canary:
Download wise my speeds were about the same downloading the same file.

I cannot compare to Chrome since I don't use it, but... y'all may find this casually interesting. I really didn't expect it (variation).
Ran in Speed Test in all 4, Edge & 3 Insider Channels.
Edge was about what I expected, around 300 DL. Upload 16.1.
The 3 Channels, Upload 16.2 for all. BUT,
Beta DL 55.4
Dev DL 123.1
Canary DL 179.3
And something to note, w/ Edge the DL jumps up & runs flat. The Insiders would peak (higher than final values shown) but, drop off over test time; ending w/ the low(er) numbers.
I will suggest, even if an Insider Build is set as default browser, this speaks to difference between the browser being 'actual' & integrated as part of the OS, as opposed to Insider (beta) Builds; running like apps*.
NB: If I run a speed test app which, is not running inside any browser to give the level for the OS, the PC... that is about the same as when done w/in Edge, the 300. In other words, the values w/ the Insider Builds are sort of like 'false positives' or not, 'true colours', not credible. *Proven by Edge & the App being about the same & the Insiders way out to lunch.
Cheers,
DrewThe thing is that on SpeedTests, the Edge Dev looks exactly the same in comparison with Chrome.
But when i download something, from Google Drive, the download speed looks stuck in the value of 2MB/s, but the Chrome runs at my highest speed of 10MB/s.
The interesting fact, is that i've tried on Edge and Edge Dev, and both have stuck around the 2Mb/s.
I've try to set the Edge Dev as a default browser too... as you said.
