We're seeing delays in CI on https://github.com/cypress-io/github-action/actions/workflows/example-edge.yml using Edge

for example https://github.com/cypress-io/github-action/actions/runs/6589879261/job/17905293268 on

https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/ubuntu22/20231016.1/images/linux/Ubuntu2204-Readme.md which merged 2 days ago and bumped Microsoft Edge from 117.0.2045.47 to 118.0.2088.46 on ubuntu-22.04 (aka ubuntu-latest)

I assume this is related. There doesn't seem to be any difference between Cypress 13.3.1 in this run and 13.3.2 which I also tried out (hasn't been merged yet - waiting for PR cypress-io/github-action#1061).

Connection problems to Edge have been going on for a while. In the github-action repo they have however generally not led to test failure.

I'm seeing Edge also slow to start on a local Ubuntu 22.04 machine, although in a second Cypress test in the same session there are no waiting messages shown.

I can't reproduce the issue that the connection from Cypress to Edge fails completely. I only see it slow to connect, which makes me think it may be a performance issue.

I also noticed on GitHub that running in a Cypress container there were no waiting messages. I can't say it that would workaround your issue, but you might like to just try it out, for instance:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    container:
      image: cypress/browsers:node-20.6.1-chrome-118.0.5993.88-1-ff-118.0.2-edge-118.0.2088.46-1
      options: --user 1001

• This is a duplicate of issue Cypress failed to make a connection to the Chrome DevTools Protocol after retrying for 50 seconds. #27830

How is this completed - problem with Edge is still real and we dont have issues with Chrome BTW
