Troubleshooting browser crashes or performance issues on Windows 10

Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
My Microsoft Edge browser keeps freezing up. I have tried all the suggested solutions with no success. I like the design and functionality offered by Edge, but will change to Firefox until I get a notice that Microsoft has fixed the problem with Edge freeze ups.

i'm on Edge 92,
and i think since around edge 90 or 91, my edge will freeze randomly, not everyday, but it's just randomly freeze, i notice it all happens on youtube website, i'm not sure what had triggered it, when it is freezing, nothing on edge works, but all the system stuff other programs were not affected, then i have to use task manager to end edge
I tried your method Doug Timmer. When I searched the APP list I came up with 2 Edge entries. The one called Edge Update had both boxes (Modify and Update) grayed out when I selected the Edge Update box. I tried the only way I know which is to right click on the selected entry and select delete, but there was no delete in the drop down box.
Any other ideas? I'm running out of them myself. I'm using DuckDuckGo until Edge gets fixed.
I have looked at the comments and it appears that the people having the issue have not exactly pinned down what is causing the Edge software to freeze. I know how to make it freeze on que. In the menu bar at the top of the screen there are drop downs that are intended to be helpful. These little dropdowns will ask if you like to save the password to a sight. Or it will even ask if you want to reload a site because Edge froze and was shutdown improperly. If you ignore them and just let them float around and annoy you to death, edge wont freeze. If you chose to close them like hitting X, edge WILL freeze every time. I can't imagine the developers or techs are not aware of this and will not believe you if you say this is the first time you have heard of it. Do you have a fix for this issue?

It freezes on specific websites (there is many), but only sometimes. All other websites also then pretty much lock up. I have to reboot to fix it. I've reinstalled edge. Cleared all history & cookies. Very frustrating.
