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.
