Does Ms edge browser's startup in zorin lite block the main thread during the first opening of it?

[eid]

I think ms edge browser in zorin lite block the main thread, i mean when i waiting ms edge starting opening(the first startup) , in the time of waiting i can't deal well with zorin( slow desktop, slow opening zorinmenu, slow response to opining other software), is that is the normal or the default? if not , how i can overcome that?

This may be an issue with RAM.
You can test your ram - or just prior to launching MS Edge, purge your RAM:

[HOW TO] free up RAM while working

I just discovered this one... Sometimes, your RAM fills while you are working and it is not a good time to reboot. With three commands, you can clear out some RAM: sudo sync sudo sysctl -w vm.drop_caches=3 IMPORTANT!: You must run the following command again, or information currently in RAM that you are using and need could be lost sudo sync After running all three of the above, you should see a marked increase in Available RAM.

Then launch MS Edge and observe processing speed. If it is improved - then you know what to focus on.

RAM can still get used quite a bit during startup. If you have a lot of autostart programs in your Startup file - then even more RAM can be filled by the time you reach the desktop.
It's worth it as a test, as it is an easy and quick way of taking a look.
