Edge 88 Slow Opening Websites

Daniel Velez glad to see I am not the only one encountering this issue.
What resolved the issue for me was going to Settings > Privacy, search and services and disabling the following setting:

My device is already configured to use Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 secure DNS via Network Options in Control Panel, so I have no qualms about disabling this in Edge.
As soon as I disabled Use secure DNS to specify how to lookup the network address for websites page times returned to their normal speedy selves ^_^
What's weird though is I am still seeing the "Downloading proxy script..." message appear as a status message at the lower-left corner of the browser UI 😛
This is still an issue in Edge 88.0.705.63. But your fix works.
What's odd is that Chrome doesn't have an issue with "secure DNS" enabled.
