I keep seeing 100% CPU spikes from Edge when going to zdnet.com, my CPU and GPU go nuts. It’s not nearly as bad in Firefox. Anyone know why ?

<p>Check your plug-ins. I had something weird happen this week with Grammarly chewing up CPU cycles and I had to disable it. It was fine before the latest Edge update.</p>
<p>Could it be the 43 autoplay videos and 1,591 JavaScript trackers on the homepage? ?</p><p><br></p><p>In all seriousness, I have noticed Edge using more CPU since the last update.</p>
I had this issue a while back and it was fixed by an Edge version upgrade. I think it was tied to a performance improvement that Microsoft had added to Chromium as well, and it was reversed.
