Browser and GPU process are much higher compared to Brave
Edge Insiders,
My name is Tim Scudder and I’m a member of the Edge performance team. I wanted to provide an update on this issue: we were able to repro the problem locally, we have a fix coded, validated and are now working to get this change into our next dev drop (estimated to be 76.0.166.0).
We apologize for the inconvenience, but truly appreciate everyone’s help in isolating the problem.
NOTE: We are also aware of a VSync timer tick issue that also has CPU/battery impact that originated upstream in Chromium's codebase. This issue has been fixed upstream and we are also working to make sure the fix is in our next dev drop (again, estimated to be 76.0.166.0)
Regards,
Tim Scudder
tomscharbach Your PCs are too powerful to notice the high CPU usage of Edge C.
Also, like title of this report states, I'm talking about internal browser task manager, which clearly show how buggy is current version of Canary and Dev build, compared to other Chromium browser like Chrome, Brave etc.
It's clearly an issue of Edge C. If you want definitive proof, search online leaked builds of Edge C and compare.
If you got 1% of CPU usage, we got 20%.
P.S: Guys, take it easy.

Okay. I'm curious now.
I do my Edge Chromium testing on three computers -- one high end, one mid-range, and one low end. The low end computer (Dell Inspiron 3185, A6 9420 CPU, 4gb RAM, AMD R5 integrated graphics) is an entry-level computer selling for $175-$200. I guess that it is possible to go lower than that (say, a Celeron 3060) but now much lower. Even on the Inspiron 3185 (as reported above), Edge Chromium isn't using more than 6-7% at rest.
What processor are you guys using to get CPU use results in the 20-30% range, if CPU power is the driver on this issue?
