I can't use the smiley face icon or menu to Send Feedback. Clicking on either will crash Edge.

UPDATE: It seems to be working now. Not sure what was causing the crash issue, but it was a fresh install on a (practically) brand new MacBook Pro running Catalina. Edge was installed after the Catalina update.

The high CPU usage and fan seems to mostly come into play when a video is playing in chrome (including autoroll ads on news sites), but I've not narrowed it down entirely.

    That's really bad, try reinstalling the browser and during uninstall, when asked, choose to remove all data along with it.

    because for these kinds of technical problems, a simple form is no good. the smiley button allows you to send Additional data to help them identify and fix the problem and also what is going on in your system while the CPU usage spike occurs.
