I’ve been annoyed for years by that awkward gap between clicking a browser icon and actually seeing a window. It’s only a couple of seconds, but it happens dozens of times a day, and it adds up. It also feels like we’re too far in the future for this to be an issue. Microsoft seems to have fixed this in Edge on Windows 11, and Chrome is what it is being tested against. So I set up a few launch tests on real machines to see what changed and what didn’t.
