Microsoft Edge Has Difficulty Loading Google

Hello:

Recently Microsoft Edge takes nearly 30 seconds to load the Google.ca page, whereas Firefox loads the same page in less than one second. This is happening on 2 workstations and one tablet in my household and there is a mixture of Ethernet and Wifi connections, but it happens on all three machines. Microsoft Edge is also slow to display Google search results as well, and general internet surfing.

It seems to have gotten worse recently. Can anyone please assist, or does anyone know what is going on, other than Microsoft Edge simply sucking? I also know that it isn't the fault of my internet connection. Please see the image below.

Thanks,

Grayson

Hi Ken, thanks for the reply. I'm not on Gigabit yet; it's already across the street at my neighbour, but not on my side until November.

Google is already set as the default search engine. Even when searching from the address bar, Microsoft Edge is still very slow to render results or surf.

What is your default search engine for Edge ? If not Google, may change if that is your desire.

Also, do you have any Edge extensions that could effect the performance ? May disable to see if any difference.

The default search engine for Edge is Google. How do I check for the extensions?

Go to menu (three dots, upper right) and scroll down to Extensions.

Also, may want to reset Edge and do a scan with your AV for malware.

Hi Torre:

I have reset Edge and performed scans using Malwarebytes. Nothing came up.

Is there anything else I should look into?

Thanks,

Grayson
