Edge is significantly slower than Chrome on my pc (same extensions, Win11 22H2), why ?
Looks like your CPU doesnt support AVX. Although it is a skylake cpu, sometimes the celeron and pentium series for a given generation will forgoe some instruction set extensions to shrink die space and make it cheaper. So for you, you can use my SSE3 only release here > https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Special/releases/tag/M105.0.5172.0 The sse3 releases for linux and windows get updated less frequently, but otherwise are made to the same standard as other releases, and still contain optimizations that make it faster vs other chromium browsers for a given platform. If you’re curious, i did a l write up here on the site about the optimizations > https://thorium.rocks/optimizations

Is Safari in MacOS Ventura really the fastest web browser? (As Apple advertises in their webpage)
It’s hard for me to define « fast » for a browser. Does it mean it loads internet pages and content fast? If so, I’d say all browsers I tried are the same, it depends more on your broadband speed and the other apps using it. What I can say is that Safari isn’t the lightest browser. I’m using Thorium Special, a fork of Chromium that’s been compiled and optimized for Apple silicon chips. Even with extensions, it uses around 30% less memory according to the task monitor. It’s just my personal experience.

What browser do you use recommend?
Firefox and then Brave if I need a Chromium based browser, although I think I am going to ditch Brave for Thorium. Maybe even Edge, it's a lot better now.

Browsers and Windows 7
There's Thorium, which is a fork of Chromium. The author is maintaining a separate version for Windows 7 https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Win/releases/tag/M109.0.5414.120

I make a Chromium fork for Linux, Windows, and MacOS called Thorium. Thought I’d share here.
Also, typing in the search field on the chrome://settings page crashes Thorium 103.0.5054.0 (your provided binary at https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Win/releases/tag/M103.0.5054.0) on Windows 11 Version 21H2 (Build 22000.675). That might not have to do with any of your modifications though. Could just be a bug with that Chromium build.

https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Win/ Win builds.
- I make my own Chromium fork for linux. Sharing for people who don't wanna use the snap chromium or 18.04 repos. Has enhancements and performance compiler optimizations.
- Who else uses the default Ubuntu GNOME layout? I think it’s oddly cozy and comfortable once I got used to it.
- Gallium OS update?
