Slow browsers

Guys

On my previous post, I said that I have reformatted my w10 so started with a blank canvas again. I was using Google Chrome as browser, but it is EXCEPTIALLY slow so i did a Google question and the world opened with solutions, but also, many people had same probl;em.

I have tried Opera and Edge, all slow, maybe Edge a bit faster.

How can this be with a clean install and all working ok except browser, is it because browser problems are net related and not pc problem. advice please as when I c/o Google Chrom icon, screen open totally white until it eventually opens.

Please provide more details and context.......such as:

Slow compared to what and when?

What browser have you ever considered "fast" on Windows 10 using your current hardware?

Has your PC undergone any hardware changes since the browser was fast?

Is there any correlation to particular web sites?

Have you taken a gander at Task Manager?

Have you done any browser speed tests recently and how do the results compare to months ago?

Are you convinced your ISP is innocent?

Thanks for reply, but a lot of questions, I will keep it simple if I may.

I have used my pc daily for ages without any trouble, but because of a problem recently , I decided to do a reformat to my w10 and it went well and i have got myself back to normal.

Only problem is, my Google Chrome which I use for browsing, has become VERY slow in opening up, same with Gmail.

I followed tips on net by trying Edge and Opera and it seems that Edge is the quickest.

Based on what you say, I assume Chrome works fine..........once it is opened. Your only problem is that it is slow to open.

So, use Edge if the slow opening speed of Chrome is a big issue.

My Chrome opens to a blank page in about 1 second. It brings up a random web site in about 2 seconds, occasionally slower.

You may or may not have many processes unrelated to Chrome going on in the background since your new installation, but that would require you to investigate in Task Manager, which may not be as simple as you'd like.

You have told us virtually nothing about your hardware......it may be superb, mediocre, or failing.

Good luck.

Review the questions in post #3. Are the browsers just slow to launch, or also slow to browse ?

Check your internet speed and network adapter drivers. Depending on your system, sometimes the drivers installed on a clean install do not play well. May try to reinstall or go to the HP site for the original drivers.

My BB speed is 35 Mb/s and I would say the slow speed is mainly when I open up rather than when I browse.

Would need to check again as I have started using Edge as it is much quicker, not sure if its relevant, but my Chromebook does not have this problem
