Liking Edge very much so far. Perhaps placebo but feels faster too (than Chrome). One thing I would like to ask is if there's an option to disable this smooth-scrolling effect. It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I prefer the faster Chrome's scrolling. This is especially an issue. On the Microsoft Edge team, though, we’ve been making strides to ensure that scrolling remains smooth and responsive, regardless of the scrolling method you prefer. As of EdgeHTML 14 (which shipped in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update), we support off-thread scrolling for the following input methods: Single-finger, touchscreen; Two-finger. One of the distinctive features of the EdgeHTML rendering engine was butter-smooth scrolling, both with your fingers and with the mouse scroll wheel. The move to the Chromium rendering engine has meant switching to a much more abrupt type of scrolling, but Microsoft’s engineers are trying to fix it.

Technical background
By default, Windows uses line based scrolling for almost any mouse. When you scroll, your content really jumps one or more line(s) rather than doing a smooth gliding.
As this is not what users want (and it is very different from what they know from their smartphones), web browsers make this jumps visually smooth, by moving the jump distance by each of its pixels, which takes quite some time and processing. So even it looks smooth, in therms of scrolling is it not, it's still line based scrolling.
Microsoft Edge Smooth Scrolling
The Magic Utilities for mouse and trackpad are smooth by default.

So there is NO need for your web browser to smooth the scrolling anymore, in fact, the web browser still tries to make that already perfect scrolling smooth which takes lost of time as we send about 100 times more scroll events as a regular mouse. As an (unwanted, but maybe nice) side effect of this, you get a kind of momentum/inertia scrolling at the cost of much more processor load, power consumption and scrolling lags behind your finger movement.
