Hi,
I just upgraded my network to gigabit and running speed tests my iMac is always running slowly <100MB/s.
I finally narrowed it down to Chrome and Edge browsers. Safari runs the speed test at over 900MB/s.
Safari is not my preferred browser, does anyone know how I might fix this?

FWIW, if you are using speedtest.net, apparently chromium-based browsers do not like it. Chrome using FIOS speed test.

Thank you dialabrain!
You are absolutely correct. I can’t use the FIOS speed test as I’m outside the US, but switching from Speedtest.net to another service showed the full speed of my connection on Edge.
Just as a note this is only Edge on MacOS, on Windows they all worked equally as well as each other.
You're welcome. I did try speedtest.net using Chrome before I posted. It was one fourth the speed I get on FIOS and fast.com.
