HTML video heavy or javascript heavy websites or ads can spin the CPU to over 80%. But if those are not your specs or close to it, then yeah Edge is going to be difficult to use even with just a few tabs open.įrom what I can tell, the issue is whatever they may have done to the javascript engine. It works fine on my PC because I’m running a fairly new and high end intel processor with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. Personally, I like using Edge (typing this response in Edge) but in order to do so, you need to have the hardware to support it because it is probably the most hungry web browser out there even though it was supposed to be an improvement to IE.
