I deactivated all extensions to see if this is the reason, but it is not. Users who complain about this behavior also report in the German Computerbase article about Edge 91:ĭo you constantly open a new extra tab? Annoying with every external link when the Edge opens an additional tab.Īnd another user writes in a follow-up comment: This behavior was confirmed by other users in the blog. Does the Microsoft update horror of Windows 10 now also start with the Edge browser? This is of course very annoying to manually open the desired start page every time. I don't know about others, but after updating to the above mentioned version, the setting "On startup" -> "Open specific page" is completely ignored, an empty tab is opened at browser startup despite this marked setting. Shortly after the Edge 91.0.864.37 blog post was published, the first users reported that the default start page no longer works in the new browser.

Microsoft emphasized during the presentation that the new background process, the so-called "Startup Boost", does not block or usurp any relevant resources and is only intended to make the web browser start much faster in the future. In version 91, the Chromium browser is supposed to be based on a new core process running permanently in the background, which runs under Windows even when the browser is closed.

Various websites reported faster browser startup and sleeping tabs (see here). I had pointed out this update in the blog post Edge 91.0.864.37. The update fixes various vulnerabilities that have already been fixed in Google Chrome. As of May 27, 2021, Microsoft has released Chromium Edge 91.0.864.37.
