I have upgraded to the new Microsoft Edge browser. Each time I access a new forum in Money Saving Expert, I get the following message: "Checking your browser before accessing meneysavingexpert.com". Can I circumvent this message with its consequential delay?
I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".

    I've been using it for months and never seen that message.....
    Are you using the default settings for tracking or have you set it to strict?
    Did you alter any other settings?
    I use the Beta Version, for some reason people are seeing a few bugs in the final release.
    The site doesn't like some setting. It's just checking that you are legitimate to protect against DDOS attacks...........It may not be the browsers fault.

    Yes, that's the issue. It didn't happen with other browsers but VPN is the issue. Many thanks.
