Shortly after the Edge 91.0.864.37 blog post was published, the first users reported that the default start page no longer works in the new browser. Microsoft emphasized during the presentation that the new background process, the so-called "Startup Boost", does not block or usurp any relevant resources and is only intended to make the web browser start much faster in the future. In version 91, the Chromium browser is supposed to be based on a new core process running permanently in the background, which runs under Windows even when the browser is closed. Various websites reported faster browser startup and sleeping tabs (see here). I had pointed out this update in the blog post Edge 91.0.864.37.

The update fixes various vulnerabilities that have already been fixed in Google Chrome. As of May 27, 2021, Microsoft has released Chromium Edge 91.0.864.37.
