Thank you. However my situation is that the Edge consumes very high cpu even after I closed all tabs. And if this happens, I can't terminate it without "Force Quit". So I guess this does not relate to any particular website.
It might be a compatible issue with Catalina. Personally, I really like some security improvements with Catalina, think they are heading to the right direction. Such as its "read-only file system", it might be a decent solution to the system security and upgrade stability in a long run. But such many problems are indeed frustrating. So yes, I can agree on the term MacOS Vista 🙂

yuguo Yeah, when the CPU starts to spike, closing all tabs does not fix the issue and I also am forced to "Force Quit" it.
It's possible that some specific pages are causing some internal parts of edge to crash continuously. That would explain why closing all tabs does not stop the crash, once the crash loop starts it doesn't stop. (I'm just speculating at this point).
