What drives me away from Chrome on Windows is the very short freeze you have after you let the page idle for a while and try to scroll again. It was introduced earlier this year, I think.


That sounds more like your pc has performance issues. I have no short freezes when using chrome on windows.


I am using a decent gaming rig, so I don’t think it is the performance issue. I think it might be related to the touchpad. Are you using mouse for scrolling?


You might be running into Tab Discarding under memory constraints, the pause is when the tab gets restored. https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2015/09/tab-discar...
