Edge Dev not Loading
tomscharbach , agreed, it builds over time. Just checked since I posted my original message and I am up to 9 task so far.
I do not reboot my computer, I just kill all the running Edge Dev tasks and that clears it up.
Thanks for your feedback.
Steven1625 Thanks for the tip on restarting the browser. That does clean it out and it is simple to do.
I've reported the issue through the feedback smiley, so the Edge team can look at it and figure it out. The trade press has reported many times that Chrome (and hence, Chromium) is a resource hog, and I expected Edge Chromium to be a significant memory hog in contrast to Edge Classic and Firefox. But what we are seeing is remarkable. It is the "builds over time" issue that alerted me that something is wrong, and that is why I reported it. I'll pass along any information I get from the Edge team about the issue.
tomscharbach @Steven1625 If you would file a feedback from the in-app experience, that would help us understand what is going on here. In the meantime, I am forwarding this thread on to the folks that manage reliability. Thank you both for testing our preview channels, and for taking the time to give us your feedback.
Elliot Kirk "If you would file a feedback from the in-app experience, that would help us understand what is going on here." I filed a feedback earlier today, with a screenshot of Task Manager showing resource use. I hope that will be sufficient, but feedback has my e-mail if they want more detail information.
- How do I do this since the browser won't start? Does the feedback collect any additional data? If so, it would be all gone cause I have to kill all the tasks to get the browser to restart.
- That is difficult to do since when it happens I can't start the browser anymore to select the feedback icon. Not sure what it would pick up after I kill all the tasks to get the browser running again. But will keep this in mind.
