Now that you say that name, I haven't heard many people talk about that kit in quite a while.

I had to step away from the group for a little bit because it's far too obnoxious and annoying.

You let people with a Kia in your car club?

Our group is a pretty bastardized group, but sadly there are 4 stingers, 4 mustang owners, and a few of us other randos. Everyone else is pretty chill and humble about their cars, even the Hellcat owner. But this one guy is brand new to the car world so he's all lambaste and loves to boast about how his car is quicker than everyone's because he has tune number 3 or whatever lol.

BTW, "It's just a Kia" is the perfect trigger phrase because then he will go on for an hour as to why it's the next best thing to an F1 race car lol.

Sounds like you need to get a bunch of "Bro, It's just a Kia" decals made

It's what I would do.

Joking aside I would let him be. He is going through his "teenager" stage of being a car enthusiast. He will either learn and mature, or fall out of it. Just pat him on the back like a kid who just learned to catch and tell him "good for you." Don't let it put you off.

I doubt the slowness has anything to do with Edge, given at it's core Edge is Chromium. Sounds like bad backend to me.

I have no love lost for Edge or Chrome but just saying the browser only has so much to do with the speed of a site.

Remember Edge before they gave up and went with Chromium guts? What a shit show.

True, but I was assuming that was not what was being referred to...

I’m woefully ignorant on the subject so my default is to blame Microsoft product.

It's a safe play.
