There are numerous reports on the Reddit forum that the Edge browser has started using excessive CPU resources, reaching load levels of up to 90% when watching videos on the platform.
This causes significant performance degradation and a serious deterioration in user experience.
Some users have also reported pop-ups on YouTube asking them to switch to the Google Chrome browser if they are experiencing performance issues.
This raised suspicions that Google was deliberately throttling Edge’s performance to promote its own Chrome browser.
In both cases, the situation with Microsoft Edge and YouTube highlights the ongoing competition between major technology companies and the impact of competition on end users.
