Serious Bug! Microsoft Edge Chromium crashes when using YouTube
Hello,
- I have disabled all extensions.
- The browser is on the latest version - Version 90.0.818.51 (Official Build) (64-bit).
It happens especially when I have a YouTube video on full screen. - It can also crash when I have one YouTube tab open and not in full screen. It just takes longer to crash.
- My computer dramatically slows when I am using Microsoft Edge Chromium. Everything takes longer to load, and programs such as Word and Spotify often freezes.
I never had this issue in March. It only started happening in April.
- странно но нечего описанного не происходит

https://www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftEdge/comments/n0rlc1/edge_crashes_when_youtube_is_fullscreen/In my case, codec "av01"(AV1) seems to cause the trouble. I'm not sure but "vp09"(VP9) nor "avc1"(h264) doesn't have this issue.
Uninstalling "AV1 Video Extension" app seems to solve it, however, I couldn't really uninstall this app since it will be re-installed automatically several hours later. 😞
I'm using enhanced-h264ify extension to block AV1 for now.P.S.
I cannot see "av01" on YouTube today. If I block VP8/VP9/h264, "Your browser can't play this video" appears. Hmm...
