Dev channel update to 80.0.320.3 is live
My CPU usage has skyrocketed again with Version 80.0.320.5 (Official build) Dev (64-bit) on MacOS 10.15.1. The last time this happened, someone said to disable some security feature in the Edge settings, but I can't remember what or where.
I submitted feedback (which still doesn't allow me to attach screenshots) and I was "idle" at 150% or higher. With 5 tabs open right now, I'm getting between 225% and 280%. Idle Wake Up is the highest of any app (except kernal_task) at 70-80.
I might have to switch back to Safari or Chrome for a bit. 😞

that security feature you had to disable was called SmartScreen and it was here:
HotCakeX -- Thank you!
Disabled the Defender SmartScreen and I've only peaked at 52% and am mostly between 4-8% (other than a new page launch, like Facebook).
Exactly what I was looking for!- Yw, that's good 🙂
