Chrome and Edge flickering/lagging on second monitor (MSI GE75, RTX 2070) - Firefox works fine
Hello. I have an issue with my MSI GE75 laptop running Windows 11 with an RTX 2070. When I use a second monitor Dell connected via HDMI, content inside Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome starts flickering and lagging. Firefox works fine on the same setup. The laptop is MSI GE75 with RTX 2070 and Intel iGPU. The second monitor is a Dell. Browsers affected are Edge and Chrome. Browser not affected is Firefox. I set Edge and Chrome to run on the RTX 2070 in Windows graphics settings. All drivers are updated. All settings are on maximum. The issue is flickering and micro freezes while scrolling or playing videos on the second monitor. This does not happen on the main laptop display. I already tried switching Edge and Chrome to High performance GPU RTX 2070 in Windows settings with no effect. I updated NVIDIA and Intel drivers with no effect. I disabled hardware acceleration in Edge and Chrome which reduces the issue but performance drops. I set both monitors to the same refresh rate 60 Hz but the problem persists. Since the problem only happens with Chromium based browsers and only on the second monitor, I suspect it could be related to how Microsoft rendering pipeline interacts with Chromium hardware acceleration. Firefox which uses a different rendering backend works fine. My questions are: Why does this only happen with Chromium based browsers but not Firefox? Is this related to how Windows and Chromium handle GPU acceleration on a second monitor? Is there a known fix or workaround to make Edge and Chrome work properly on the second monitor? Thank you in advance for any advice.Unable to share screen on MS Teams in Google Chrome 109.0.5414 on Ubuntu 22.10
Hello, I have not been able to share the screen (or other windows) like I used to share with MS Teams running inside Google Chrome 109.0.5414 on Ubuntu 22.10. The only thing I can share is other tabs inside Google Chrome. The same thing is happening inside Chromium 109.0.5414. The strange thing is that Google Chrome and Chromium display the following message: "Go to Security & Privacy > Screen Recording to give permission and start sharing." But I do not have these Security & Privacy Settings. I am not using macOS, where I know about these settings. On Linux, there are no such settings. Are there any other options on a Linux System to set to make sharing screens possible once more? Thanks in advance. Details: - Ubuntu 22.10 with GNOME 43.1, Wayland - Chromium 109.0.5414 (via snap) and Google Chrome 109.0.5414 (via dpkg/apt)Brave browser - how Edge insider compares to it
Brave was first founded in May 28, 2015 Brave 1.0.0 was released in November 9th, 2019. That's 4 years spent in Beta. Microsoft Edge? in January 15th 2020, the first stable version will be released. that will be 10 months spent in Beta. lots of people agree with this, that Edge needs to be feature rich before it is called stable and final. I wish Microsoft make a browser so that the first thing I always do after installing a Windows OS wouldn't be going to the internet and downloading a different browser because the built-in browser is not good enough for me. but in order for that to happen, lots of things must be added. lots of things must be learned from different browsers. one of them is Google chrome. now I don't like Google as a company and I have very good reasons for it. like this Google quietly removes "don't be evil" preface from code of conduct and this this Google has access to detailed health records on tens of millions of Americans but in order to become better than them, Microsoft needs to apply the same features Google chrome has. such as allowing for new tab page search engine to be changed another one of the browsers that are a good examples is Brave, Brave has Tor support for private browsing, and support for torrent downloads. Support for Torrent is really awesome! I use it a lot but I have to install a torrent client such as Qbittorrent to use that protocol. Windows has never added any support for Torrent protocol, none of the Microsoft products have had anything to do with Torrent before. Torrent files should be handled the same way as the normal files are. one step towards this is when user clicks on a Torrent file or Torrent magnet link, the browser automatically recognizes it and starts downloading it the same way it does for HTTP/HTTPS files on servers.Your session has expired Error popping up all the time!
I'm trying to upload a video at https://web.microsoftstream.com/ and I'm getting this error every 10 seconds which forces me to refresh the page all the time and won't let me get anything done. I have this behavior in both Google Chrome Canary Version 80.0.3965.0 (Official Build) canary (64-bit) and Microsoft Edge Canary Version 80.0.331.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) Now on Microsoft Edge classic (Edge HTML) built-in Windows 10.
AutoImportAtFirstRun fails when Google Chrome is configured with a 'Set user data directory' value
Google Chrome has a GPO named "Set User Data Directory" under 'Google/Google Chrome' If that policy (which prevents users from configuring their own user data directory and forces a specific data location) is configured the data import fails, and Edge doesn't understand where to find the Google Chrome data to import. It also prevents future auto-import capabilities.Very Impressive Edge insider Canary Results in HTML5 Test (Plus other browsers) Comparison
Here is the the score of browsers to see how much of HTML5 technologies and features they support. In order of highest to lowest. Edge insider Canary Version 79.0.286.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) Highest Score Google Chrome Canary Version 79.0.3924.0 (Official Build) canary (64-bit) FireFox version 71.0a1 (2019-09-26) (64-bit) Edge classic (EdgeHTML) Microsoft EdgeHTML 18.18990 Microsoft Edge 44.18990.1.0 Internet explorer 11 version 11.1.18990 Internet Explorer 11 (latest version) obviously has the worst score, but it's the only browser that can manage to get the perfect 100/100 score from Acid3 test among all these browsers tested. the rest of the browsers can only get 97/100. By the way, Acid3 is an old test. https://html5test.com/ http://acid3.acidtests.org/ Comment down below what you think. I for one am hella impressed by Microsoft Edge insider's score!Tab Grouping needs So much improvements
Tab grouping in Edge insider canary is worse than Tab grouping in Google chrome stable Edge insider Version 81.0.375.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) VS Google Chrome Version 79.0.3945.88 (Official Build) (64-bit) so in Google chrome, when I go to a website (Any website) and then right-click on a link (could be video, post, picture etc), Google chrome automatically puts my original tab and the new tab into one group and gives it a color. Then if i open a new website in a third tab, it has no group by default but once i right-click on a link on that website and open it in a new tab, the same grouping happens. these groups with different colors help us recognize which tabs belong to which website/group and make things easier to manage. in Microsoft Edge, I have to right-click on each tab and create groups manually. P.S if you are wondering how to activate Tab Grouping: you have to go to here: edge://flags/ then find this from the search: Tab Groups and set it to enabled restart your browserHas Microsoft helped Chromium or Google chrome to show history in Windows 10 Timeline/TaskView?
I'm on Windows 10 insider fast ring build 19035 and i'm seeing that all of my web history from Google chrome canary Version 80.0.3987.0 (Official Build) canary (64-bit) are in there! there are also 2-3 web history, all of them from offline PDFs opened inside Edge, in there too from Edge insider canary. i don't know what's happening, I don't have any extension in Google chrome nor Edge insider to add my history to the Windows 10 Timeline/TaskView but they are automatically appearing in there, so I wanna ask if you guys (developers) have made this happen by contributing to the Chromium project? it's really a good thing but i don't know why Google chrome got this feature first before Edge insider[FIXED] Your session has expired Error popping up all the time!
