Edge Android is way too slow
Hello everyone, I started using Edge on my entry-level laptop, and I absolutely love it. Filled with features and SegmentHeap drastically reduces the amount of RAM being used, and it's way faster...
djskate2611 I had the same issue. I changed by tracking prevention settings from Balanced to Strict and the page load speed has improved quite a lot. If others (as many as possible) can try the same and report back, it might be good to confirm the solution.
Thanks a lot aravindkunnath I confirm as well that after changing Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Tracking prevention to Strict, the performance has really improved. It's much faster now. I was about to switch back to Chrome on Android because it was faster and I was looking into solutions to keep in sync the bookmarks between Edge Chromium on Windows (which I really enjoy) and Chrome on Android, but now I don't need it anymore. With that setting, Edge on Android works just fine plus I enjoy the built-in Ad blocking.
I tried a slightly different option. I went to Settings => Content blockers => Block ads (set it to On). After that change all pages loaded quickly for me.
aravindkunnath Yeah after changing the tracking protection settings to strict performance has significantly improved. Maybe in the balanced mode, it is taking too much time to actually analyze which trackers to allow and which not to. Thanks aravindkunnath for this.
