Microsoft has released its Edge Browser for Android and we found it to be pretty fast. The Edge Browser for Android does not use EdgeHTML engine to load pages but instead uses Chrome’s Blink engine. The performance of the browser is very good and pages do load quite quickly.
Today in this post I will tell you how you can improve the speed of the Edge browser on your Android to make most out of it. This simple tips and tweaks can increase the speed of the Web to make your browsing experience much better.

You can block the JavaScripts of Web pages to make the pages load faster. Though it is not recommended to block the JavaScripts, but if the browser is taking a long time to load a page then you can try this.
To do so, Open the Edge Browser → Click on Menu Option indicated by 3 horizontal dots. Here open settings and under Advanced, check for the Site Permissions.
There you will see the option of JavaScript, turn it OFF to Block the Pages preventing the loading of JavaScripts.

#2. Clear the Web and App Cache Regularly
Web Cache stores the data like HTML to reduce the server lag and load the pages quickly. But filling of the cache data will affect the browser performance so it is recommended to purge the Cache on regular basis to make the browser performance better.
