    Edge Insiders,

     

    My name is Tim Scudder and I’m a member of the Edge performance team.  I wanted to provide an update on this issue: we were able to repro the problem locally, we have a fix coded, validated and are now working to get this change into our next dev drop (estimated to be 76.0.166.0).

     

    We apologize for the inconvenience, but truly appreciate everyone’s help in isolating the problem.

     

    NOTE: We are also aware of a https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=962784 that also has CPU/battery impact that originated upstream in Chromium's codebase.  This issue has been fixed upstream and we are also working to make sure the fix is in our next dev drop (again, estimated to be 76.0.166.0)

     

    Regards,

    Tim Scudder

Thank you for doing all your troubleshooting and research here. I'm glad it got Microsoft's attention and we're keeping this browser's development accountable.
