Thank you for the welcome and thanks for your support! Very excited to be able to use Edge Chromium as my only browser for both web browsing and PDFs 🙂

P.S. forgot to mention that PDFs are also laggy on lower resolutions than 4K (have my Surface Pro 5 with native 2736 x 1824 and it experiences the same issues 4K resolutions does to a slightly lesser extent) which for students using a Surface line product it would be a hit if it were fixed for them too 🙂

Thanks again and cheers!

OmegaMalkior thanks for reporting this issue. Happy to inform that our team is already working on improving PDF scrolling in the new Microsoft Edge to make it as good as it was in legacy Edge. Please expect some improvements in upcoming releases.

And yes, the problem is the same on all monitors but may get aggravated on 4K monitors. I hope this helps.

        Deleted So excited to know that the team is working on fixing this issue! Can't wait for it! Is there any estimate of when the update will come? This summer? This Autumn? Maybe Winter? :lol:

         

        Nonetheless, I don't want my excitement to put too much pressure on the team! After all, the final product has to be polished! Great job! :happyface:
