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.

Thorium – Radioactive Chromium Fork
FYI a number of streaming sites won't work - while this has Widevine, it does not have Verified Media Path (VMP) which verifies that you're running a signed binary. https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Win-AVX2/issues/84#iss...
https://github.com/castlabs/electron-releases is an interesting Electron fork with full Widevine+VMP support - but it's very much closed-source.
