Edge Canary freezes

Hello Since some version of Canary, on pages consuming resources (more than 800MB for example), Canary freezes for a few moments and returns to normal It also does if I open a new tab sometimes ...

Don't know if this relates to the same issue, but since changing to v89 engine I've got massive problems with freezing pages in either Dev and Canary (doesn't happen on Stable Channel).

Some examples to reproduce:

when trying to scroll in dropdowns (eg category dropdown on amazon)
when using datepickers
when using translate.google.com and then hitting the back button several times
when hitting the back button on youtube after playing a video

The browser hangs for 10-30 sec, saying "Edge is not responding", then returns to normal behaviour again. This also happens on Google Chrome Canary, so I assume it's some bug in the Chromium core.

And yes, I disabled all extensions and also set Hardware Acceleration to Off for testing, but thar doesn't change the freezing effect.

Yes same thing, this bug appeared recently, no problem with the stable
MS must do what is necessary.
And with the latest version of Canary, I have a new bug that appeared, the outlook.com page refreshes itself (4 or 5 times) when I open it from a shortcut

They are doing "something", but if the bug is annoying for you, you can switch to a more stable channel.
no one should expect Canary to be bug-free and work as good as stable channel.
