mehua If the team has so much time to spare in these unwanted features, why don't you improve the performance of edge.
- Flyouts of bookmarks, favourites, history, downloads, view site information are very slow. They compose themselves in 20 seconds while extensions is a champ.
- The GPU process has started consuming lots of RAM.
- Settings page hangs everytime for 30 seconds I try to open it.
- edge://gpu page hangs for 15 seconds when I open it. And these edge://gpu and settings page both freeze the browser. Why don't you maintain a separate process for them?
- Math solver is a bloat. We aren't kids.
- Alerts and tips is also a bloat.
- Print preview is very slow. Try to improve its performance.
- Search on pdf's is very slow. See how well the google drive app on android searches. Have a look on it.
- Give me the ability in the browser to deep suspend all background tabs. By deep suspend, I mean they shouln't be wokeup and but should remain in ram. Be it video playing tab or any tab for that purpose. or Atleast provide this functionality in the sleeping tabs.
- Web Capture doesn't look professional at all and is very slow. Give it the ability to save file anywhere with any name. With auto clipboard copy option in settings.
I have mentioned so many ideas and you are from the team, you must be knowing a lot more problems.
Work on these, why waste time in providing bloat.

I don't know how old a device you are using but most stuff you call "slow" isn't a case for me. All of them work smoothly. Also, why Math solver is a bloat it is not for just to calculate 1+1 it can solve the most of advanced math problems. I don't know what world you live in, but math has never been just for kids. And even though. Edge's purpose is to become a browser for almost every type of user. From people who use it for shopping to who uses it for work/school stuff which means kids also using browsers. Maybe don't be that selfish next time and think about all potential users instead of just YOUR experience.
