Dev channel update to 79.0.294.1 is live
josh_bodner I see others are reporting high CPU utilization on this build in macOS Catalina. I'm experiencing the same thing and it's with static pages. At one point I saw my CPU utilization by Edge get near or exceed 500%. I'm unclear the cause since it seems to just increase over time and I'm looking at largely static pages, downloading files, and not watching video/listening to audio from the browser.
- Spoiler

Hi,
try disabling "Microsoft Defender SmartScreen" from the Edge insider settings
some people reported doing that will fix the issue as a workaround
- Thanks for the recommendation. Tried that this morning and CPU usage is back to normal.
lindhartsen and in case anybody else is still seeing high CPU usage, we had quite a few separate bugs this week that caused higher CPU usage, and we got a couple of fixes for some of them into today's Canary (301) that should also help.
