WhenMicrosoft Edge was introduced in Windows 10, it boasted to be the fastest net web surfer.

Chrome and Firefox took a beating in response and download times.

In another forum, this bad reputation is attributed tolack of proper coding of the web app engine.

Though many new features were introduced in Edge, care might have not be taken to see theperformance issues.

From what I can tell, the issue is whatever they may have done to the javascript engine.

HTML video heavy or javascript heavy websites or ads can spin the CPU to over 80%.

Microsoft Edge refused to do the task and was hanging, until it was closed.

It was a little frustrating moment as it was important to store sites as bookmarks.

I resorted to use Chrome as a substitute.

But the browsing speed and the look of Edge, tempted me to further solve this issue.

As a general case, we should wait till Microsoft improves the Edge engine.

Otherwise the best bet is touse the Internet Explorer 11, which is also available on Windows 10.
