Chances are that Edge, Firefox and&amp;#x2F;or Chrome all three decided that they should have the right to run a full instance of themselves when you boot up your PC because you enabled a notification for a site that doesn&amp;#x27;t ever send any to begin with.&lt;p&gt;Browsers are heavy things to boot up (not to mention that in potato RAM environments, they eat through RAM like there&amp;#x27;s no tomorrow). To be clear, browsers being heavy applications is fine, it&amp;#x27;s one application where people tolerate it because of how versatile the browser is, but it is &lt;i&gt;extremely&lt;/i&gt; frustrating when it results in the computer taking 5 minutes to sign in, when all they needed to do was quickly revise a Word document.&lt;p&gt;The result is that people end up writing off perfectly serviceable laptops for something that is easily disabled in the task manager.&lt;p&gt;This sorta thing really should get a big warning popup that if you enable it, it probably will end up slowing down your PC. I can&amp;#x27;t exactly celebrate the fact that all three major browser engines now pester users into slowing down their PCs.&lt;p&gt;Otherwise, if your relatives&amp;#x2F;friends are complaining their laptop is slow (and you&amp;#x27;re the designated IT person), enjoy the free advice.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>explaininjs</author><text>An HTML renderer, in only 90,000,000,000 clock cycles?
