"Checking your browser before accessing torn.com" does not redirect to login on Edge for Android. Versions below in the screenshot.

On the same devices, Google Chrome (on Android) redirects as expected and I've managed to replicate the issue on two phones. Also can replicate on both Wifi and mobile network.

I've recorded my screen, if it's not obvious what I mean.

Let me know if any more information is needed.

Thanks!

I am not sure who the correct developer for this would be. Passing along to Joe. Thanks!

Quick question, why are you using Edge for android?

I don't think this is something we're able to fix on our end. This page is served by Cloudflare.

With a quick google, it appears to be a common issue...

When I try to visit sites that have DDoS protection by Cloudflare always failed to pass/in a loading loop on Edge for Android.
I'm tired of these countless bugs present on Edge Android. It seems like Microsoft don't really care about their Android browser.

I think the solution here would be to use a better browser!

Well, why not? I switched to Edge after Edge switched to the Chromium engine. I use Edge instead of Chrome for all sorts of reasons. I have a work profile that isolates my corporate identity and personal identities, I prefer the privacy controls Microsoft offer, Integration with "Your Phone" so I could open tabs from my PC and even if I didn't send a tab to my PC, integration with Windows means that I can see what I've visited in Task View in Windows. As much as we all hate IE, Edge (as "CrEdge" or "Edgeium", not like the old Edge) is actually quite a good browser. But I digress!

Browser choice aside I guess my next step is to raise an issue with the Edge team, somehow. Pretty sure there's a Github for it so I'll have a hunt for that and raise an issue if one doesn't already exist.

Sure the issue is that an external service we rely on does not work with Edge on android it seems. Since it's an external service, there's really nothing we can do, and certainly nothing worth doing since the solution is pretty clear. I think you might be the only person using Edge on Android, and it's clearly pretty terrible in regards to compatibility with major online services. There's many great alternatives to mobile browsers.
