Edge and Chrome startup speed

The new Chrome build (87.0.4280.66 ) is really quick to open. Much faster than any version of Edge, not that I care much about it. However, at least on my PC, the CPU consumption is horrible, a...

Actually the boost of chrome 87 is different than the startup boost of edge it seem (not verified), i was saying, if it's true, edge will have a double boost (when our boost will be in stable) where chrome will have one boost.

ps: To many boost in this sentence xD

HotCakeX  and Wittycat  

Hi

I realized that I didn't have the startup boost enabled ... I activated it and there was a great improvement in startup speed ... but still, Chrome is faster in this regard ...
But, as Wittycat  said, I also believe that when this optimization of the new Chrome reaches Edge, then Edge will probably have some advantage ...

    Chrome faster? are you sure?
    can you record a 60fps video?

    with startup boost on Edge dev or canary, Edge opens instantly. chrome can't be faster than that unless it's installed inside the RAM!

        Chrome is superior to the other browsers.

        I hate chrome, It's just too white, too round, doesn't match with windows UI, UI looks like from 90s, horrible scrolling, settings page looks trash, feels so fckn slow etc etc, 

        Although I would admit Android chrome is much better than Android edge, Its a shame that Android edge is not even closer to chrome android.

      i have something similar, (but Ryzen 2700X for CPU, and Edge Obliterate completely chrome, in therme of speed and consumption).
      Just the domain who are blocked (DNS or Extension) who wait for timeout and let the load icon turn event if the page is loaded let think it slower but when we use bench tool and extension to mesure load time it's definitely loaded before chrome.

        Ryzen is great, the 3000 series is a lot better than the best Intel CPU. AMD completely ruined Intel and Nvidia with Ryzen 3000 and Radeon 6800 series. my next CPU definitely is going to be AMD.

         

        DNS blocking is easy to circumvent. if you use proxy, VPN, TOR etc, they all bypass the Windows hosts file.
