Youtube 60fps videos stuttering in Google Chrome; runs smoothly on IE 11 on Windows 8.1 (x64)

sorry for late reply but i confirm, tested with my old ring win 8.1 64bit with 2gb of ram (667) amd athlon 5400 x2 64 2.8 and a 9600gt 512ram and yeah even in late 2015 ie11 can play 1080p 60 smooth while chrome stuttering even on 1080p 30fps.

The same on my gaming pc and my i3 4gb ram and radeon gpu laptop.

The gaming pc Q6600 8gb of ram and r9 270x gpu which runs gta v on almost max smoothly can't handle 60 fps smoothly on chrome and runs them perfectly fine on IE11 and Microsoft Edge.
The only reason i don't use Edge(now that addons are available) is the reason I can't drag text to search it.

since 2 years ago microsoft's browser is just waaay faster smoother and better.
besides I got an error yesterday that my 8gb ram computer just "Ran out of ram" with only 2 instances of chrome running(2 accounts about 6 tabs total)
That is just crazy!

my friends with 2-4 gb of ram used to run 30+ tabs on chrome!

Maybe google and the RAM manufacturers are in a deal haha...

Highlight Text > Right Click > Ask Cortana

and it is even faster than dragging

Just to add: yes Chrome consume more resources than my fat mother in law! Not a Google fan, neither a Microsoft one.

Love Edge speed but is useless for my needs
