Best/lightweight internet browser

I did a test-run on my Hi13 using this youtube video = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNJdPyoqt8U

I ran it on Chrome, Firefox and Edge using the 4k/60 fps setting and only Firefox showed skipped frames during playback.

Make sure you have tried selecting max performance in the windows powersaving profiles. And also in the Intel graphics driver….if it still playbacks slow and the Hi13 get really hot, then perhaps it could be a problem with the cooler not working correct, if everything else works perfectly when the Hi13 is not taxed too hard.

Did you compare temperatures between browsers?) l

Try the Slimjet browser. 32 bit if you have 4GB RAM.

No, I didn’t compare temperatures, I thought it was enough to share difference in experienced performance.

But I just did a complete playback(let the video run in 4k quality for the entire 5 minute duration) of the youtube video I linked to before, running it in firefox(which showed the lowest performance, that had some skipped frames). And I used max performance in the windows power saving profiles.

I have now attached idle temp. measurements before video playback and temperatures right after running the 4k video. The monitor app was running in the background the whole duration, so you get a min and max temp score. And as you can see, the max CPU core temp. I got was 68 degrees Celsius.

Hope this helps you with your “troubleshooting”!   😉

Try firefox 57 (quantum) it is a lot faster than firefox has been in some time.
