Windows 10: ID SAFE and Edge Browser extension

I use a password manager extension for Norton ID safe,,, it was fine for a long time but then one day something went funky and now whenever I have extensions enabled (not even logged in to the ID safe extension) my browser gets slow, when I type to search for instance at yahoo sometimes I can type a full sentence and it takes a minute or so after I type for the text to show up, cutting and pasting is sketchy as well but the worst is "fly outs" like on Facebook (see image) when I click newsfeed I sometimes have to wait up to a minute for the fly out with "most recent" and "top stories" to show up same with on amazon ad's when I hoover over pictures its like I have to wait for the full page to download before I can hoover over and see the enlarged images.
I have fully cleaned my cache multiple times, uninstalled the extension and reinstalled and just about everything else I can think of including having my email changed on my extension password manager account.
I have looked for posts about this issue here and on the forums for Norton ID safe and no one else seems to have this problem!
If I go into edge browser settings and disable extensions then things seem to be fine but when enabled (not even logged in to the ID safe extension) it drags my browser like I'm on an old 56k connection!!
I'm at a loss does anyone have any ideas what the slow down could be? seems like bandwidth issue but all my speed tests check out fine,,, and I know I could just not use the extension at all but I need it so I have to,,, its just twice as much work to disable it, then enable it when I need it and log in and so on and so on...
No one seems to be posting about this on the Norton id safe forums so i'm guessing I'm the only lagger lol.
Could it be something to do with Sync settings??
Ughhhhh!
Any help would be much appreciated!!
Also ive followed a few tuts like this How to Make Edge fast and fix slow problem in Windows 10 to try and solve the problem and still no luck

Thanks!

Microsoft Edge

For now, Microsoft Edge doesn't support browser extensions. Most security software tries to install web browser extensions to rate search results, protect you from accessing malicious web sites, provide extra security for online banking and shopping, and
other security features. If these features are important to you, don't use Microsoft Edge.

Edge won't get support for browser extensions until Q1 of 2016 at the earliest. You can use it without security software extensions, but many people rely on those extensions to keep them safe as they search the web. If you want that extra security, use Google
Chrome or Mozilla Firefox instead of Edge.

 

How to enable add-on in MS Edge browser?

Thanks a lot, Zigzag,

I have the Windows 10 Home 64-bit anniversary update(V:1607, Build 14393.0) installed, which will allow MS edge browser to support add-ons. I see that the MS Edge browser has add-ons option called 'extensions'.

However, when installing some apps(Norton Identity Safe, Internet Download Manager, Skype,
HP SimplePass Website Logon, so on) which integrate their built-in adds into any browser installed, I didn't see that add-ons were added/integrated to the MS Edge browser.

However, all of the Norton Identity Safe Extension, Internet Download Manager Extension, Skype Extension, and HP SimplePass Website Logon Extension added/integrated into the other browsers such as MS IE11, and Google Chrome, FireFox and so on.



As a result, I think the add-on of any app only available and authorized in the Windows 10 Store could only be added/integrated into the MS Edge browser.

So, how to add the add-ons of third-party applications not added in the Windows 10 store?

 

I would not use any Norton Products. Find another PW manager*Wink

 

If I didn't already have it for like the last ten years ,,,, i'd agree but since 140+ of my passwords and accounts are stored there, I need it! thanks for your opinion!
Thanks!

 

Well after a little more investigation today I found my browser does this no matter which brouser I use so the problem must be with nortons extension, I know it sucks but ive used it for years and just haven't found any other way of keeping track of my stuff! so I guess I just live with this! Mark post as solved I guess! Grrrr!

 

You as the OP have to mark it solved.
