edge/chrome slow ?
Hey guy's
So I used to use IE for the longest time and then maybe I wanna say 4-5 years ago I discovered Chrome and it was blazing fast.
So recently (at home) I'm using an older win7 machine, I found I was getting the spinny wheel, on and off, so I did some diagnostics
1> Internet speed fine, blazing fast
2> NO malware no bulk software running
3>"although" I found that chrome had nearly 20 instances in the process's
I worked out how to stop them from running but found that didnt make any difference
3a> Cleared cache etx / and power settings are on high performance, nothing extra is running and everything is set to run as fast as possible.
THEN I thought about what was going slow, turns out just to be youtube, only when I run 720p or more.
I have netflix, but I have the SD package which only runs at 480, when I run youtube at 480 no problems
When I load up youtube also all the various icons screens takes ages at times
So then I downloaded Edge and .... Boom the problem stopped, I can run video's at 1080 youtube runs faster, BUT i hate edge, I prefer Chrome
What I don't understand, my home network I am directly connected to the router via Lan and get 100meg download (speednet) at work on the corp T1 with chrome no issues
Why is Edge at home running better than Chrome, is this some kinda MS conspiracy ?
Thoughts
BTW it's just STREAMING that's noticeably slow, anything else is fine
(running an i3,win7,8gig, ssd,direct LAN)
I do have newer machines and they do "not" seem to have issues, but I think they usually run Edge (daughters win11)
