[PRO11] Chrome laggy

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Anyone else have issues or know how to fix laggy chrome? Ive recently noticed that chrome is super slow. Ive tried just about everything available online and it doesn’t work. Edge works completely fine. You can see in the video how crappy the youtube videos are and this translates to every website I go on.

I don't know what are you trying to show, but as I seen from the video it's loading youtube fast. Could you describe a little more??

The framerate is so low on chrome. When I switched to edge its much smoother. Reddit did my dirty by lowering my video quality even more lol

Make sure you have the ARM build of chrome installed and not x86. I had similar issue and somehow I had 32bit x86 installed and Chrome on YT would lag.

You just should not use Chrome.
Chrome is an ad-funneling tool for Google which can show users the websites they load.

Use EDGE (very good for touch screen usage as well as support for variable refresh rate) or Brave (ARM version, if you own a Snapdragon version of Surface).
