Issues with webclient in Microsoft Edge (Chromium)

Post by mmajcica »

When I open the webclient, it opens in my default browser, at the moment Microsoft Edge, Version 80.0.361.69 (Official build) (64-bit).
If I do open it in IE, it all works as supposed. Any idea why is the page continuously refreshing and not being able to run correctly?

Older versions of Edge will work from some reports, but a few months ago Google made some changes. Their Chrome browser has this problem, and recent versions of some other browsers built on Chromium also have this problem. There are some workarounds posted in the FAQ - viewtopic.php?f=24&t=32463. Basically it involves turning off caching for the page. Some other browsers have been reported to work such as Firefox.
