Sane defaults is what makes the difference.


Firefox also has a huge pile of spam on the new tab page by default.

I wish they would just kill it already...


The Firefox page doesn’t cause the browser to freeze up for 30 seconds while it loads all the crap. That’s my point with IE/Edge, not that the page exists to begin with.


You have a horribly under-specced PC or something. Edge tabs load for me in around 1 second when I launch the browser cold, and I don't have a particularly powerful PC or anything.

1 second is still too much time, and 30 seconds is indicative of either an exaggeration or a somewhat severe problem.
