Anyone else having trouble with microsoft edge freezing up on them? I can't switch from page to page without it freezing. I have read lots of info and it seems I'm not the only one but there doesn't seem to be an answer. Help!

I was having that problem too, especially in the last 1 - 2 months. I use a PC and upgraded to Windows 10 last July. Since then, I've used mainly the Chrome browser. Then it started locking-up a lot. I tried using Firefox, same problem. Oftentimes the only way to clear the lock was to reboot the computer. I ran virus scan after virus scan and Malwarebytes, to no avail.

Finally I used Edge, which I suspect is what Microsoft wanted all along. However, it was locking-up too. Edge is a real memory hog, as you may have noticed, which might account for some of this. Then Verizon FIOs upgraded my internet speed from 25/25 to 50/50. Just like that, 99% of the locking-up episodes went away. It may have been a coincidence. I was beginning to think I'd need to buy a new computer.

One of my computers came with windows 10 no problem. My older computer did not it came with 8.1 no problems with Microsoft edge. Not so far. I had fire fox [on both] and hated it. This is a improvement over that search engine.
