josh_bodner  -- why does this new version crash on closing?  I get a stopped responding message then when opening Edge DEV again it asks to restore tabs.  This has happened since this version of the browser.  Can I check somewhere in the browser to see what is causing it?

    Chris Childerhose edge://crashes should list your recent crashes, although it won't tell you why Edge is crashing.  Crashes when it closes are especially difficult to try to diagnose since they often aren't directly caused by the act of closing the browser, but instead are tripping up on some memory corruption that happened far earlier.  The only crash I'm aware of right now that happens when closing Edge is a relatively uncommon crash that's directly caused by closing a tab, but the timing to trigger it is very tight, so I'd be surprised if that was what you were hitting, especially if you've seen multiple crashes.  There are quite a few other crashes set to be fixed in this week's upcoming Dev build though, so it would be interesting to see if any of them fix your issue.
