A current bug discovered in Microsoft Edge browser causes the browser to crash when users load YouTube, and obviously, given how popular Google's video sharing service is becoming, the issue affects quite a lot of users.

Microsoft, however, has already acknowledged the problem, by having an Edge engineer recently explaining that the full fix continues to be within the works best for everybody.

However, a workaround was already provided, and it's obtainable in the Canary build from the browser.

"It is definitely video related, I can confirm that much. I can also state that if you are still experiencing this, we're working on setting it up sorted out. The Canary fix I mentioned helped a lot of people, but not everyone, and there's an upstream fix arriving soon. I am not entirely sure when that will be, but I will follow track of you once I know," the Microsoft engineer explained on reddit.

Fix in route

In the meantime, sticking with the Canary form of Microsoft Edge is pretty much the best choice if you too are hitting issues on YouTube.

"Head over to our Insider web site to download and install our Canary channel. Watch a YouTube video you know to result in the problem available, and let me know your results there. Should you continue to see issues, realize that we're still investigating. I'll provide updates here as I get them," the engineer added.

Strangely enough, the problem doesn't seem to be hitting all users, as YouTube is still working properly on my device running the latest stable version of Microsoft Advantage on Windows 10 version 20H2. However, Microsoft says it's still attempting to determine whether the Canary fix will the trick for everybody, so an update in this regard is probably coming.
