Best browser for Power BI

[Anonymous]

Hi All

I've just released my first published App to our organisation and I'm hearing stories about very slow load times when they're opening it in their browsers.
I was wondering if anyone had any advice for which browser is best to view these reports.

I've tested myself and found that Edge, peaked at nearly 100% CPU usage and 900mb's worth of RAM for my report.
Load time was about 20 seconds.

I did the same test on IE and found the it took 15 seconds to load, peaking at 60% CPU and 718mb of RAM.

Chrome,  9 seconds, 60% CPU and 586mb of RAM.

The results speak for themselves but do I tell the organisation that a non-microsoft product performes better? Is there anything I can do with Edge or IE to improve to the same level as Chrome?

Thanks

Martin

Microsoft has listed the following browsers as supported for Power BI.

• Microsoft Edge
• Internet Explorer 11
• Chrome desktop latest version
• Safari Mac latest version
• Firefox desktop latest version

These browsers are supported on all platforms where they're available.

Link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/consumer/end-user-browsers

The documentation, however, does not compare between these listed browsers.

I notice, in another similar thread, they accepted Chrome as the better browser.

Maybe, moderators have a view on this as well.

While speaking with MS Support team on a Power BI issue they recommended to use Chrome for Power BI.

Apparently its more optimized with Chrome...
