Dev channel update to 83.0.474.0 is live
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
