MicrosoftSteinbeis MS Edge version 93.0.961.38 was released September 2nd and there has not been another Stable version released since. I'm not sure if you are seeing different behavior on different MS Edge Channels (Canary, Dev, Beta)?
I'm not able to reproduce by typing "option". When you encounter the issue can you please submit diagnostic data through the browser? ("..." menu > Help and feedback > Send feedback)
Thanks!

Kelly_Y, it is frustrating that you cannot reproduce it. I think I have narrowed down the problem a bit. I think it has to do with autocomplete. I changed the name of my input field, and the the problem was gone. I assume that the autocomplete list build up, when you submit the field so I added a form and a submit button to my simple example (see below).
I selected and submitted several entries until a autocomplete list was build up like this:
Once the browser is showing the autocomplete list, the problem is there again, and I can crash the browser by typing and then moving the mouse over the list.
The problem disapears, when I rename the field or delete the autocomplete browser data.
My current verison is Version 93.0.961.47 (Offizielles Build) (64-Bit).
I will try to rename the field in my page and add an autocomplete=off as a workaround.

- I could not reproduce in 94.0.992.58 (we will switch to extended stable channel to avoid this and other bugs impacting our business too much)

ghanchi2000 Hi! Do you have a link to a site that we can use to reproduce? We would need more information for our developers to investigate. Thanks!

Hi Everyone! The new fix is included in current Canary builds and should be included in the Beta V94 release from today (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-relnote-beta-channel#version-94099223-september-17).
We expect Stable V94 to be release next week (Microsoft Edge release schedule | Microsoft Docs) and should include the fix.
Please give it a try and let us know if you are still experiencing issues. Thanks!

Tagging Anderung Mike_Michaud865 Dennis1993 as FYI
- did the same. Going to check in with a few users on the issue. Good to hear MS has been able to reproduce. Thanks for providing the insight they and we all needed!
Steinbeisdid turning off autocomplete work as a suitable solution? Or did the issue persist?
I agree there is a case where with some users the browser consistently crashes and with others the issue does not persist. Generally, those that do not use Edge have no issue, clean install with not a lot in the cache, but those that use it on a frequent basis experience the datalist crash frequently.
