The key questions:

  1. What Airline
  2. What Terminal
  3. What time is your flight
  4. Do you have PreCheck (or any other equivalent)

This. OP needs to give more info. I fly at least once a month out of EWR. There are times when I see the TSA Pre lines with large backups. There are times when co-workers who don't have TSA Pre & Clear breeze through in a matter of minutes.

I'd also add:

  1. I assume you are checking bags?

  2. Do you have status with United?

Without this information, I’m a TSA Pre flyer who does not check a bag and who flys either American or United. I usually have a car rental that I’m returning, and so my plan is usually to arrive at the rental car return 2 hours out. Gives me time to drop off the car, take the AirTrain, go through security, and get to my gate. That’s always been sufficient.

I flew United international on an early Sunday morning in October with checked bags and had no issues, at all.

Airport is a nightmare in the afternoons and evenings, as is the traffic. Early flight, you have no issue.
