Windows 10: Youtube skipping frames on Microsoft Edge

On my HP Windows 11 laptop AMD Ryzen 5 7520 U processor and Radeon graphics, Youtube tends to skip frames according to the "Stats for nerds" section, it skips around 6-12 out of every 30 frames in Microsoft Edge, even when I have no other programs open. It does this on any quality higher than 480p, but never gets worse even when the quality is set higher. It's been doing this ever since I got this laptop and no other program has a constant frame skipping issue like this.I`ve tried:disabling "Graphics acceleration" in Edge settingsrestarting Edgerestarting my computerclosing all other progr

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 , 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.

Hi,

As you are facing issues with accessing the YouTube on Windows browsers, do not worry we will help you with this issue.

• Also, try to access different website on Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge.

Method 1: For Internet Explorer

Step 1: I suggest you to run the Internet Explorer Performance troubleshooter.

• Press Windows key, type
  troubleshooting and select it.
• Click on View all in the left pane.
• Click on Internet Explorer Performance

Step 2: If the issue is only on Internet Explorer and to specific website, I suggest you to view the website in compatibility view to check if the issue is confined to compatibility.

Steps to view the website in compatibility view:

  and open the website.

Step 3: If the issue still persists, I suggest you to access the website in
InPrivate mode and check.

InPrivate Browsing enables you to surf the web without leaving a trail in Internet Explorer. This helps prevent anyone else who might be using your computer from seeing what sites you visited and what you looked at on the web. You can start InPrivate
Browsing from the New Tab page or the Safety button.

Steps to open the browser in InPrivate mode:

Open Internet Explorer, press Shift+Ctrl+P
to open the browser in InPrivate mode and try to access the website.

Method 2: For Microsoft Edge:

I suggest you to check if the Adobe Flash player is enabled on Microsoft Edge.

• Open Microsoft Edge, click on More actions
  (...) in the right-top corner of Microsoft Edge window.
• Click on Settings, scroll down and click on
  Advanced settings.
• Enable Use Adobe Flash Player
• Check if the issue persists with accessing the YouTube websites.
