Same problem. Edge Dev crashes spontaneously every few minutes, no specific pattern I could attribute these crashes to so far, happens even while Edge is just open and idling. I have cleared cache and cookies, to no avail.
Update: Edge Dev crashes systematically when I try to add a language (English (USA) in my case) .

PS: ... and right after posting this reply, Edge crashed again. And again after posting this edit ....

josh_bodner Dev crashes consistently when trying to add a language and it also crashes spontaneously and frequently for no obvious reason, sometimes even while idling.
I just installed Canary and this is what it shows in the language setting "out of the box":
Any attempt to add a language crashes Canary as well.
My normal settings I want to have this:I have also contacted your support on this issue: [Case #:1030897204]
