Edge browser becomes unresponsive when searching for UI elements
#1
When I have 13 tabs open in Edge and press Ctrl+Shift+E, the browser freezes and takes about 4–6 seconds before the "Find UI Element" dialog box appears.

Alternatively, I currently have two Edge browser windows open. The first window has 13 tabs open, and the second window has only one tab. When I press Ctrl+Shift+E in the second window, the "Find UI Element" dialog box appears, but it is also very slow.

Can this be made faster?

Can't reproduce. Always less than 500 ms, and does not depend on tab count. Chrome 151, Windows 11, LA 1.16. Maybe depends on some extension or side panel.

Same with any active page? It's normal if the page contains large number of elements (rare), for example a source code file. 

Same in Chrome?

YES!
