New MS Edge terrible!

[red_slr]

Anyone else having problems with it?

It refuses to load google maps and many other google services.

Pretty much the slowest browser I have ever used!

Why on earth would MS do this to people is beyond me?!

[red_slr]

Not sure but its a royal PITA.

I have all my work / personal passwords saved in Edge so I dont want to go through having to re enter everything on a new browser but its looking like I might have too. I need at least 4 google map tabs open at once all day basically and its just basically refusing to load the second tab let alone 3 or 4..

I just tried opening 8 google map tabs on my desktop and 4 tabs on Surface Pro 3 (getting a bit long in the tooth). Both worked exactly as expected.

For me speed feels a bit faster than Chrome, with the possible exception of YouTube which feels a bit faster in Chrome.

No its running dog slow, i.e 60+ seconds to load street view.
If I use a page with embedded maps it fails to load the map its that slow.
Other google services seem to be effected, adwords and youtube that I have seen so far.
Gmail seems fine. If anything faster.

Most other websites are ok, running fine.

I will see if it will update but given it only updated on Monday I doubt it!

Well still getting no where updated windows several times... seems to be ok 1 minute then carp the next.

Going to download firefox and see what that does! :/

[red_slr]

Well just tried firefox and its fine and works well.

So defo an issue with Edge. I am not going to move over to FF today as I hope and pray that MS will sort this as I cant be some unique set of drivers / windows build that only me is having this issue.

Logging into adwords was taking over 5 minutes.... in FF it was about 3-4 seconds. Hopefully they will be able to fix this quickly!

Why are you clinging on to Edge? it doesn't work so just dump it & move over to Firefox. None of the browsers are vastly different anyway so use one that at least has a good library of extensions so you can implement features you like.

Not clinging on, but giving it chance for a day or two. Like I said it will probably take me a while to move over my data and passwords etc. Looking into the suggestions above btw. If no joy the FF it will be!

Absolutely no problems here either.
You must have some real st installed on your pc that's fking it up. Not their problem ... it sounds like it's yours.

Its a work PC we keep installs pretty clean, there is the following:

MS office
Windows mail
Edge
Adblock plus
Adobe
CCTV client software

Thats it.

Its a fairly recent PC specialist machine, i5 8400 6 core, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD.

Running latest version of windows 10.

Its the same this morning. Its running like dial up. If I load youtube it loads the thumbnails like its 1997. 1 line at a time!
Google maps loads 1 tile at a time or 1 layer at a time. I cant see it being anything else other than an issue with the new version as the old version ran perfectly.

[red_slr]

Something weird going on because it wont play youtube in anything other than the lowest resolution 144p...

Is there a throttle on this thing or something?

[red_slr]

I am the IT Dept (and all other departments!)

Our connection is 40mb down rock solid so thats ok and all other sites ok. All other PCs ok (not W10 though all W7)

Will try the waterfall thing now...

[red_slr]

Hm, so an example from the waterfall

Loads of files 3ms - 5ms
Then loads more 5-10 seconds...

Tried again and some were as long as 12.83 seconds.

Wonder if is a cookie thing?

[red_slr]

I dont know because now literally after I posted that its working fine now and google maps max time on the waterfall is 95ms thats if I go from street level and scroll right out to entire GB... hmmm....
