Broken Websites
Let's dedicate this thread to websites, which exhibit unusual behavior in Edge Insider. They either don't open or work as expected, or cause high CPU and/or GPU load when in focus. One can check...
I had the same issue beginning with Build 174 and continuing to 175. I reset the browser settings, as suggested,and that took care of the problem. It also substantially -- and I mean substantially -- improved performance overall.
Its unclear what Reset Settings actually does. Is it limited only to settings offered in Edge Chromium Settings UI? Or it involves resetting ALL flags and other Chromium hidden options? This is the question to Edge developers. It seems to switch off all extensions as well, despite they give no problems. Chrome extensions once added may modify browser hidden options. Resetting conflicts with Extensions work and purpose.
I suspect that many European websites show high CPU and GPU load, because Edge can't properly identify when their webpages finished loading, or can't handle their scripts. They might contain some common scripts that are less often used in North America by web devs.
