MicrosoftDev channel update to 93.0.910.5 is live
I'm getting a lot more pages that hang at one core's worth of full CPU usage, and continuously increasing RAM usage. I eventually get a frozen tab pop-up with the option to kill it or wait, and then RESULT_CODE_HUNG. It crashes differently if I let it gobble up all 20GB of RAM.
Had it start happening with YouTube, but only when I try to play a video, even though I was mostly free of the issues people were having before. Disabled all of the usual suspects (Enhancer for YouTube, uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger) and still had it happen.
It happens on seemingly random sites too, like themoviedb.org.
Only started with the 93.0.910.5 update, or it could have been 21H1 this morning for all I know.
It seemingly stopped happening with YouTube after doing exactly one Ctrl+Win+Shift+B (thanks AMD!) so that may have been the same video issue from before, but it still happens with other sites. Plus, my video driver version didn't change before/after this, and the Radeon software still says I am up to date on 21.5.2 from May 11th.
abdelfattah I've also been getting a lot of pages hanging all over the place. It does seem to be more focused around Google Services (Gmail, YouTube, Calendar), but also happens on other pages.
- I just can't believe the Passwords Page in Settings is blank. Complete unusable browser because of that. How does that get released into the Dev channel????
abdelfattah Confirm. This version is unusable at all with SAP Fiori/SAPUI5 interfaces - permanent "Out of memory". F4 Helps after 2-3 times stopping to open and the page is freezes completely
AlexD Going back to Beta version (if someone doesn't known, it's pretty easy: copy everyting from %userprofile%\appdata\Local\microsoft\edge dev into %userprofile%\appdata\Local\microsoft\edge beta). The current dev version is unusable....

AlexD be careful with moving app data from a newer version of Edge to an older one. Typically this data isn't backwards compatible, so if we made some change in this new version of Dev that Beta isn't expecting, anything could happen.
abdelfattah Oh I'm glad to know it's not just me. I've been having problems with playing YouTube videos. It hangs the whole browser and then I have to quit out of Edge. I'm going to have to use Safari until this gets fixed. Edge Dev 93.0.910.5 on macOS Big Sur 11.4
Edit: This isn't just happening with YouTube. A bunch of sites seem to hang in Edge. I went to the Microsoft 365 admin portal and I can't do almost anything there without Edge freezing up. This wasn't happening until this update.
techWiz118 unfortunately so. AlexD replied to my comment with some other types of pages that do not work at all.
I kind of figured out what's going on with YouTube - the page always seems to hang when it tries loading the Related Videos on the side. Even if the video itself manages to start auto-playing, those never come in, and eventually that's when the video freezes.
Lo and behold, Enhancer for YouTube has an option for that!
I ticked "Hide related videos", killed the YouTube tab process that had reached 3 GB of RAM, and now YouTube just works again lol.
Oh no.
Nope. Still broken.
