Quote:Microsoft has fixed a nasty bug that was causing the Microsoft Edge browser to crash while watching YouTube videos or reading comments.
 
Earlier this month, we reported that Microsoft Edge would become unresponsive when watching a full-screen video, and a circular loading graphic would appear. Eventually, the browser would stop responding and crash. [...]

Quote:A Microsoft Edge engineer posted to a Reddit thread that their fix has helped many people, but not everyone, and that they are still working on a complete fix.
 
"It is indeed video related, I can confirm that much. I can also say that if you are still experiencing this, we're still working on getting it sorted out. The Canary fix I mentioned helped a lot of people, but not everyone, and there's an upstream fix coming in soon. I'm not entirely sure when that will be, but I will follow up with you once I know. ," said a Microsoft Edge engineer.
 
On Friday, Microsoft released Microsoft Edge 90.0.818.62 to the Stable branch and fixed the YouTube problem.
