Perhaps it's your ISP? I cannot find a QUIC connection anywhere, at home or at work. I've done nothing to disable QUIC in the test profile.

My test above was without any login.

I'm unsure if QUIC is being disabled at the "IT Level" as that test was from at work.
I do know that I don't have it disabled at the "browser level", at least not here at work.

Everything I write for you to learn is always Off Topic.
Are you aware that in Chromium-based browsers you have to select "disabled" to not use (client-side) the QUIC protocol?
It is not enough to leave the "default" setting.So there are millions of users in the World using QUIC in chromium-based browsers without any security problems.
Because server-side when a website uses QUIC ( example Amazon) has implemented it anyway.
With this post my intervention is definitely concluded.
Good luck for your poll.
Cannot replicate here in the US. At least not in Ungoogled Chromium v114.

Don't agree? You're very welcome to vote for No.1 or whatever you like.
I do agree, unsafe, not for me. Don't care if it's Google QUIC or non-Google QUIC - neither is for me.
But no, I did not vote, nor plan to.
Some topics seem to only exist for the sake of Provocateur Extraordinaire - this one has already unfolded as such so I'll leave it to "you two" to duke it out, "not for me".

Are you sure you read that article yourself? Doesn't look like it.
I'm not quite understanding the underlying hostility? The voting is 100% (at time of post) "I don't, and not going to. I think it's unsafe." so doesn't that tell us that you have both voted the same exact "it's unsafe"?

Mileage may vary, but I've only ever had a "noticeable" difference between these so-called "power plans" when on a laptop and NO DIFFERENCE when on a desktop.
Again, "mileage may vary". And I had to really benchmark the far corners of the universe to even "see" the difference on a laptop.
My laptops are i5's and i7's so I cannot say this un-noticeable "improvement" is true for i3's or not.
I'm also HUGE into quantifiable measurements, a power plan "placebo effect" is nil to none for me, I seek quantifiable measurements.
edit - oops, the title does specifically state that this IS on a LAPTOP
my point remains, seek an actual "performance metric" that you can physically MEASURE, repeatedly, don't go by some "gut feeling" PLACEBO EFFECT.

The "normal" one. The ia32 and the sse are for very old CPUs and the i3 is quite "new" compared to what they are intended for.
To illustrate, look at the "Features" section at the bottom of this page -- https://www.techpowerup.com/cpu-specs/core-i3-4160.c1767

You have 245! processes running. Of course it's SLOW with that much chugging in the background.
My home computers (Win10) only have 60-some processes running and that's with some non-OS stuff.
Here at work, I am over 200 processes but this is a top-of-the-line-at-the-time corporate machine with 32GB RAM and 16 cores with five Chrome's open with multiple tabs each, one Edge open for SharePoint, three Excel spreadsheets open, and one PowerPoint open.

Windows sales numbers in B2B are in the toilet. Retail seems OK but mainly driven by video games. Most productivity these days is done OS agnostic, requiring only a web browser.
It's all about mobile phones / tablets versus traditional desktops / laptops. And Microsoft / Android / Chrome all have an AUTOMOTIVE presence nowadays.

I don't buy Windows in any form anymore. It will drive them to bankruptcy.
And I'm still waiting for nVidia to drive off the cliff since I don't buy anything from them since 2013.

Shakey's Pizza bought Microsoft?
Never heard of it. Though they have clearly been around for a while. Had to look it up, I've visited California but still have never heard of it.

I've used over three dozen different Linux versions over the past two decades.
NONE of them will EVER dethrone Microsoft.
It's a pipe dream to think otherwise.

You're Killin' Me, Smalls.
Supermium is too bright. 360Chrome is too bright. MyPal 68 is too bright. PotPlayer is too bright. MPC-HC is too bright.
I could go on. All of these are too bright and you've said so yourself right here at MSFN.
Sorry, but yeah, one HAS TO LAUGH whenever you say something is "too bright".

I don't recall that I ever had a bad experience at the theater
Exact opposite for me, I don't recall ever having a GOOD experience at a theater.
Always TOO D@MN LOUD !!!
And this comes from a guy who has a car with three 15" Rockford Fosgate's with reinforced body panels so that the car doesn't rattle.

Just thought I'd let you know that I fixed my 'everything too large' problem on XP with 'large fonts'.
Add '/high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1' to the command line in the Supermium shortcut.
Problem solved!
Mind showing us a picture of the difference?

"The 5 Biggest Problems With ‘Dune Part 2’" by Erik Kain.
"1. The emotional connection does not connect."
I am NOT familiar with "Dune" (I've heard of it but have ZERO familiarity/insight).
Regarding the part I've bolded, "emotional connection" is ONE (of MANY) reasons I do not watch movies!
I hate hate HATE watching actors/actresses do "fake tears" and I immediately stop watching no matter what when actors/actresses do these STUPID "fake tears".
Look up "The Flash" on Netflix. HATE IT! HATE IT! HATE IT! Because the "superhero" is always always ALWAYS crying like a BABY!

I've only been to a theater twice in the last 20 years.
And I had to walk out to the car for my work-use noice-cancelling headphone hearing protection for both of those visits!

My birthday is two days away from Christmas - I stopped celebrating my birthday at 14 because of it.
My sister's birthday is on St. Patrick's Day - she started celebrating her birthday at 21 and has been an alcoholic burden to society ever since.

for "security-related FUD"
I always have to laugh when people use acronyms that may be everyday knowledge for their inner circle but that others have never heard of.
I seriously thought this "FUD" meant "F'd Up Display" (ie, web page not rendered correctly) and it was acronymized (yes, I made up that word) because the "F Word" is not allowed here at MSFN.

Google QUIC is vulnerable to cyber criminal activity, creates a ‘black hole’ that hackers can exploit.

I'm on Win10. Both here at home and at work. Work would be a much newer version of Win10. Work is also Pro and not Enterprise. I'm actually "backwards" and use Enterprise at HOME versus at work.
