Windows 10: Edge Chromium dropping frames on YouTube videos

Hello (system specs are on the profile).

I've both Edge Chromium dev (Version 83.0.478.10 (Official build) dev (64-bit)) and Edge Chromium (Version 81.0.416.58 (Official build) (64-bit)) installed, the browsers are fast overall but the problem is, every time I watch a video on YouTube, there are lots of dropped frames. The thing is, with Firefox I've almost no dropped frames, and with Edge, I've like 300 times as many dropped frames.
For example, in this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVvEISFw9w0, I've one dropped frame in Firefox (and it's in the beginning, so it's irrelevant):



While I've 393 dropped frames in Edge Chromium (both versions):




I've hardware acceleration turned on, if I turn it off, the videos become unwatchable (lots of dropped frames, as CPU can't keep up).

Do you know if there is something that can be done in order to fix it, or is Edge Chromium just slower?

Best regards.

Dropped frames in Firefox after upgrading from Win7 to Win10

Someone? Maybe move this to Performance & Maintenance or to General Support.
Tried Opera Portable, YouTube videos drops frames both in Windows 7 and Windows 10. (~0.5% at 1080p60, ~5% at 1440p60)

In Summary:
Firefox drops frames (at 1440p60 2160p24/25/30) in Windows 10, but not in Windows 7 (only rarely frame drops at 2160p30).
I think 1080p60 and 1440p30 doesn't drop frames in Firefox on Windows 10.
I can play 2160p30 YouTube in Firefox for Android on Galaxy S6 Edge+ without frame lost... but 2160p24 in Windows 10 drops frames...
VLC doesn't drop frames for these videos (1440p60, 2160p24/25/30), both in Windows 10 and 7.

Another issue I have is with DOSBox under the following settings:
Code:

Video and audio stuttering in fullscreen in Windows 10, but it works smoothly in Windows 7.
However it works smoothly in Windows 7 and 10 in non-fullscreen mode, even if I change the resolution to 1728x1080. I have 1080p 60Hz monitor.

Thanks

 

Blurry video on YouTube TV - Roku

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.



Generally, the video frame buffer is separate from the UI graphics framebuffer, so the video shouldn’t be doing any unnecessary scaling before the final image is output. This is a known issue with the YouTube TV app on Roku.



However, you can overcome this behavior by doing the steps listed below:

• Play a video and while the video is playing press
  Home on the remote.
  
• Launch YouTube again, it will stop loading and go back to the home screen.
  
• Launch YouTube again, the video should play with better clarity now.
  

If the issue persists, you may get in touch with the Roku Support.



Regards,

 

YouTube TV on the new Edge

Never said they were the same. Perhaps YouTube TV just added a third browser, the new Edge, powered by Chromium to their list of workable browsers.
