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...

Just noticed I do not work some sites.
Found only two.

Spin the download spiner and the tab hangs without answering.
In other browsers opens without problems.

In Version 76.0.176.0 fixed

Can you post Browser Task Manager screenshot on that site in v176 (wait for it to populate fields)? Was high CPU & GPU processes load fixed too?

    The load remained high.
    CPU tab up to 125 when loading and scrolling up to 25.

      Tested in more detail. The load is not very high comparable with other browsers.

        Thanks for the great video. The load is high for you at site content sent to translator. But I was not talking about it, its a separate issue. I mean high CPU and GPU load: 6 to 30% at simply idling the site without scrolling the page. Before we observed similar high periodic load sparks on ANY site opened with Edge. Pls read this thread: Browser and GPU process are much higher compared to Brave.

         

        That issue was fixed due to community feedback. Now we observe similar issue on most European, and particularly East Europe sites. Possibly due to common scripts used not frequent on North American sites. Absolute load values depend on CPU model, so folks with new PCs may  think its OK, but for older PCs its way too high sparks causing excessive fan load and battery use. Chrome Task Manager shows near 0% CPU and GPU load on same sites. When posting load screenshots, its important to add your hardware info (CPU, GPU, RAM).
