Dev channel update to 93.0.910.5 is live
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.
