    Yup, same version - Version 113.0.1732.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit. The fix (I hope) for me was to uninstall Edge Canary, delete the Edge SxS folder and reinstall. Essentially a 'new' install.

     

    So far no crashes. But I have to assume something in this new build is having an emotional moment with older builds data.
