Dev channel update to 83.0.474.0 is live
sometimes on sites with mixed media that includes 'streaming elements' eg video/audio, this can happen even if the video is stopped, or closed out.
on pages like google docs, it can happen if the page(s) are open for awhile, eg longer than an hour.
I've seen this happen on amazon.com product pages and search results pages.
there appears to be no direct triggering event or sequence, it just appears to happen out of nowhere.
Yes, I have seen this too (though less with Edge vs. Chrome). However, the behavior I outlined above is different from this. I'm seeing high CPU with extensions like The Great Suspender on a regular basis since the update from last week. When I look in Task Manager I can cleanly see one edge.exe process consuming an entire CPU core. Killing that fixes the problem (and I get a message that The Great Suspender crashed). In short, I'm fairly certain what I'm seeing is a new problem.
Stephen Berard I'm seeing this with or without any extensions...
one example..I noticed adblock plus, normally the most benign extension I've ever used, as eating a whopping 70% of my pc's cpu..I went into the extensions and disabled it briefly, and the usage dropped back to sane levels.
I ran two days without ANY extensions, and saw the cpu usage on a 'static content' page on Fanfiction.net go into orbit.its something in the browser that was introduced two version changes ago.
- Try ublock origin, it's easy on CPU and RAM and performs much better than adblock plus in terms of ad blocking
