I have been noticing this lately on my Macbook Pro. it was updated recently but my system has been freezing on and off at random times and I have found edge to cause quite an issue overall.
This is a gentle reminder to remove these shithole browsers (Chrome, Edge, Opera etc.) from your machines and move on to something more trustworthy. Currently I'm using Brave and Waterfox. I'll probably look for one more open source alternative to Brave pretty soon I guess.

  How did you end up with Edge on MacOS? Was it for testing?

    Good question. It's just something I used as a spare browser from time to time, I felt it wouldn't be that much of a big deal.
    But surprise....I just had one tab open with just one website and that's it 100% CPU just like that. I'm sure it was doing a lot of AI bullshit and tracking in the background.
