[dba-Tech] Slow Dell

[John Bartow]

Edge became very popular in the IT would because its basically google chrome without all the google crap that turned into a bloated slow as molasses memory hog. If Edge is not running well make sure you clear out the cache and the extensions.

I run edge all day long with many tabs open to MSP Portals which are very intense web apps. I used to run those in Firefox but it just didn't work out. And then there's Google Chrome. Ate up most of my RAM running the same things I run in Edge now.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Microsoft with eff it up somehow in the future (starting with now, lol) but for now it's a much better solution than anything else on Windows. You just have to keep on top of it.

My fear as well. It just gets stuck... Edge is the worst. I always have to give it some time before I start to do anything on any page, even a search page. 

Thanks - this does give me a lot to look at.

If it's new there could be some crapware that's running.

Let us know what you find.
