Karlston Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Microsoft’s Edge browser is crashing if you have Google set as default search There’s a temporary workaround Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Microsoft’s new Edge browser started randomly crashing when users typed into the address bar tonight. The issues appear to have affected Edge users who have selected Google as the default search engine. Microsoft investigated the problem and now says it’s believed to have been resolved. Microsoft recommends turning off Search Suggestions in edge://settings/search. The Verge has tested this workaround and it solves the problem if you have Google set as your default search engine. The Microsoft Edge crashes started at around 7PM ET, and are affecting macOS and Windows users. It’s not clear why they’re only limited to Google search users in Edge, though. If you switch to Microsoft’s Bing search engine within Edge, the crashes do not occur. Update, July 30th, 11.30PM ET: Added comment from Microsoft.

Nuclear Fallout Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 So, effectively this is 1 or more of 3 conditions: 1. FUBAR - NOT TESTED SUFFICIENTLY - NO SURPRISE HERE 2. BY DESIGN - THE LORD DOES NOT TOLERATE "OTHER" GODS! - AGAIN, NO SURPRISE 3. AN UNDOCUMENTED FEATURE - A LONE ENGINEER WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY - THIS LOOKS RATHER VERY SUSPICIOUS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
