I'm having a very specific issue with Microsoft Edge where it freezes whenever I use Outlook (0365 Education on the web), and it produces an overlay of some type. This occurs when I open an email attachment, preview a message, and select a menu item that creates a confirmation overlay (for example when selecting 'empty folder'). It seems to be restricted to this behavior, and it reoccurs very frequently. I have tried the following:
I'm currently using Microsoft Edge Version 107.0.1418.52 (Official build) (arm64). I'm on a MacBook Air M1 MacOS Monterey V 12.6 (21G115).
I'm wondering if there is a known issue with this type of behavior specifically. Thanks in advance for any insight.
UPDATE, EDITED (DEC 7): After a few weeks, this issue still persists on all builds on and after 107.0.1418.52. I have opened a ticket with Microsoft. While the solution kindly provided by par_0511 allows you to roll back, no fix has been applied. In my case, I cannot use Edge on a production machine due to the age of the last working version.

terry.schoof/Thom Hanford, Can you please try downloading >= 108.0.1462.46 build and share whether it works for you or not? You can download it from this page Microsoft Edge (see below image)
I completely uninstalled NextDNS from my Mac and rebooted.
Checked that I am using default DNS (Cloudflare) and then tried going to the same websites again like Teams.
I don't have any extensions except 1Password installed.
Browser was still crashing the first 3-4 times even after clearing cache and restarting multiple times as soon as I open up the settings pane (top right) in Teams as one example.
Then I tried to do the same thing the 5th time, just opening teams web and now it didn't crash.
I need to test this a bit more because I've had similar experience before when disabling Shopping feature in Edge, worked a few times and then started crashing again.
I just hope it works this time, btw Edge was updated yesterday on my Mac and now I'm running Version 108.0.1462.41 (Official build) (arm64).
EDIT: And now it crashed again when I tried the 6th time. Doing exact same test in Safari, Chrome or Firefox doesn't crash the browser.
Will try this, thanks!
EDIT: Added those to the whitelist but it didn't help in my case.
I'm using NextDNS (a similar ad-blocking DNS proxy) and can confirm that has something to do with using a DNS-based ad blocker.
I whitelisted the following hosts that were showing up as being blocked, and the problem went away:
*.measure.office.com
*.c.bing.com
*.c.msn.com
*.sb.scorecardresearch.com
I'm not sure which one (or combination of hosts) were responsible (I don't have time to try every combination), but whitelisting these hosts fixed the problem for me.
Thanks, this worked for me too!!
Edit: I spoke too soon. Thought I had a valid test, updated to Version 108.0.1462.41 (the latest released), disabled (and ended up removing) uBlock and the issue is still there for me... :(
