google news is so slow

I never used to have a problem with google news, but for the last week or so it takes ages to download, and then the page sticks half way ,can't open the pages .this only happens with the news and with both browsers, I use firefox and edge.
I tried uninstalling firefox and then installing it again, but it's made no difference

Just a thought, bearing in mind I don't use either of those, have you cleared the History and Cookies recently? That could be the problem, nothing to lose by clearing them out anyway.

Good luck with sorting that anyway, I'm sure someone on here with experience of Firefox and Edge will be able to help you.

You could try Chrome which is a Google product.

Having said that, I use Chrome but don't know what Google News is exactly. When googling something, there is a News tab as a search option, but it's not very good. If you want to be kept up-to-date on a subject, best click Tools and select your time span.

Tried clearing the cache?

"Clearing cache can fix some browsing problems, free up space, and remove saved versions of visited pages for privacy reasons.
Most browsers let you clear cache quickly via Ctrl+Shift+Del (Windows) or Command+Shift+Delete (Mac).
Otherwise, try your browser's Settings, Privacy, or Advanced options."

Re: google news is so slow

I've had a problem with Youtube comments not loading ... sometime they are interesting, sometimes I comment myself ... on channels where I'm a regular.

This thread has prompted me to clear cache/cookies and all is well now.
