Dev channel update to 76.0.167.1 is live
It seems a different issue compare to High CPU Usage when Edge is focused with no external tabs open. In fact, it may be closer to a new feature request to make Edge completely silent when unfocused, including no disk session maintenance, despite Chrome is not really silent when unfocused with several heavy tabs open. I agree this would be a notable step forward compare to Chrome if possible.
With regards to referral to previous Edge releases, I suspect they had a lot less action going on behind the scene, i.e. much less newly enabled code. Can you open a new thread on this, so other users can join?
Thank you both for the replies. Great news: I've tested it again now twice this afternoon, with the exact same tabs, and Edge C is now back down to 2-3% consistently, just like Chrome!
I'd tested twice this morning, too, with both tests nearly identical. Perhaps I missed something this morning or there was some "freshly updated rejiggering": but, I'm happy to say it's now back to normal.
If it happens again and I can reproduce it, I'll be sure to make a separate thread to gather more input.
