In the meantime, the lag generally seems to occur only when Edge is opening and AdBlock is loading the filter lists you're subscribed to.
We're all hoping the first two factors get better as Microsoft Edge matures. Be sure to subscribe to only the filter lists you absolutely need. On top of that, if your computer or your Internet connection is a little bit slow (and especially if both of them are), it takes longer for AdBlock to download your subscribed filter lists on startup. So, when a slow browser processes JavaScript slowly, our users notice the difference. The JavaScript processing in Edge is a lot slower than it is in the other browsers we support. How zippy AdBlock is depends a great deal on how zippy the browser processes JavaScript. Second, AdBlock is a JavaScript extension. There are two factors that affect this, neither of which we have any control over.įirst, Microsoft Edge is just a slower browser than the others we support.
Our 2.6.1.0 update of AdBlock for Microsoft Edge improved things as much as we can, but any significant improvement needs to wait for Microsoft. When AdBlock for Microsoft Edge is running as Edge is opening, you may indeed see some lag. For more information about the new and improved AdBlock for the new version of the Edge browser, please see this blog post. The below article refers to AdBlock for the legacy Edge browser.
