Improving performance and responsiveness of Edge on Android
I've just tried Canary, but it doesn't seem to have resolved things for me.
Slow AD authentication on work websites

For the last 2 to 3 weeks I've been having issues with slow AD authentication when access work-related websites. I use a separate profile for work purposes. The problem only happens with Edge on MacOS. It works fine with Chrome, Safari, Edge on Windows. It also only occurs with the aforementioned profile. I've tried removing the profile and re-adding, but the same slowness results. I've also tried Edge Beta and Edge Dev, which also have the same slowness when signed in to the same profile. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can resolve this? I can change browser but I don't think any other browser supports multiple profiles as well as Edge. I currently use 4 separate profiles to keep different MS 365 accounts fully separate.

2023-02-26T07:41:23+00:00 Been having this same issue for weeks. Thought it was just me. Anyone have a solution yet? It seems to be impacting every microsoft product via Edge Chromium on macOS. I'm on Ventura if that helps.

CPU usage also seems to be lower. One issue I face is that for some reason Firefox will fail to open links from email (using Outlook or Apple Mail, or from other apps as well. Copying and pasting the link in the browser does work though, so I'm not sure what the difference is.

Thanks for the recommendation of the workaround. Maybe one day Microsoft will fix the issue.

2023-02-26T19:10:04+00:00 I tried using the latest Edge Canary (Apple Silicon Version) and it seems to have fixed the issue. Before, anything using my work email (like DocuSign) would take a minute of loading. Now it takes the expected time of around 2-5s.
