Since the last update, almost each time I close a tab, Edge starts to take a lot of CPU.
In the browser task manager, I see that it's the service worker that cause this : it's written either "service worker " or I can see the url of the page I just close appended with a "sw.js"
This also happens when I open/close a new tab or even an extension (rss, password manager...)
I have disabled the setting : Allow recently closed sites to finish sending and receiving data (recommended) but this didn't change anything.

You could check edge://serviceworker-internals/ for a detailed list of active service workers.
To (temporary) disable a service worker you could press 'F12' to open Devtools and navigate to the 'Application' Tab. Under the 'Application' section there is an entry called 'Service Workers' in which you can unregister specific workers associated with certain sites.
Beware that upon visiting the same sites new Service Workers could be installed again and some are able to run offline.
To permanently prevent sites from installing service workers you could either disable cookies (Globally or just for a single site) or disable JavaScript completely, the latter may cause issues with most sites.
