Mac OS Edge Dev: CPU going crazy, can't click feedback button

So on the recent build I'd like to report that I'm getting huge CPU spikes to over 250%, and clicking the Edge feedback smiley will cause the entire browser to crash

Hi,
Try disabling "Microsoft Defender SmartScreen" from the Edge insider settings and see if it fixes this for you.

I disabled it and restarted the browser, seems i can use the report button again now

re-enabled, no issues so far, can still send feedback

      Didnt take long, now I'm getting the 250% CPU craziness again. Turned off Smartscreen again.

      Sitting at 150%, ill reply again if it happens after a restart + smartscreen off
