Browsing ridiculously slow in normal mode, but fast in private mode

No idea what to do, and I'm considering going back to Safari.

Browsing Speed is 52 Mbps download and 430 Mbps Upload.

However in private mode, its 430 Mbps download and 537 Upload. Its a new installation, and I have no extensions enabled.

The result InPrivate mode is well aligned with Safari browser, on an iMac.
Edit: Speed is fine in Guest mode as well.
So was wondering if its the profile settings?
Removed my profile completely including history, favourites, etc. Restarted, and its still the same slow browsing experience.

    Thank you Luiz. Appreciate your suggestion.

    I tried the steps, but didn't make any difference.
    InPrivate mode is still great, but not the normal mode.

    Dear Ravi,I understand that in normal mode the connection speed is very slow;

    In that case I suggest you try to reset the network settings on your MAC:

    After the end of the process, test the internet speed on Edge;

    Hope this helps, see you soon!

    Cleared cache for all time. Still the same issue.
    Here's the original screenshot of what's going on between InPrivate (left) and Normal Mode (right).
