First time that I'm having problems with the Edge.... My Edge is crashing sometime... I'm browsing and suddenly the Edge closes! I'm trying to find the pattern to report the bug.

    vctgomes besides the crashing problem, I'm having another related problem: the browser just freezes with the current tab, but I can't acess other tabs and when I move the mouse pointer it's like I'm navigating tabs and the webpage but the actual view of it it's frozen when it stopped. Quite bizarre. Also, if I resize the windows, it turns black. I can still click and see context menus and alt menus but it's black.

     

    Edit: an example -

        HotCakeX it worked apparently, but it's a lot slower, specially in 60fps videos and when scrolling pages. I hope they fix it for next build, it was fine before the last update.

    Yeah, when Edge Canary was around that version (79.0.301.2) it had that problem too, but Canary is on version (79.0.306.0) now and the problem is fixed, Dev needs to wait for the next update cycle to receive the fix as well.

      HotCakeXif the random crashing was an issue, then why did it get pushed into the dev build? and I assume that because its made its way into the dev build it will also make its way into the beta build

        Good question, I myself wondered the same thing
        but that's just how it is and how it has been. it's Not the first time something like this is happening.

        I don't think Beta will have it. it has 1.5 month update cycle and they usually choose the most stable and bug-free build to upgrade the Beta channel to.
