PSA: Edge(Chromium) browser is currently broken if you use google to search

[Howard_Casto]

So I wasted about two hours today trying to figure out why Edge closed itself when I started to type an address in the address bar.  Turns out last night's update put in a major bug where the auto suggestions of google search are crashing the browser.  The only reason I posted is I searched to see if anyone else was having an issue (ironically with google) and it came up empty, but I got a article about it in my apple news feed.  For now if you turn off auto-suggestion in the privacy settings in Edge that'll stop the crashing. 

Also yes, yes, you use firefox or whatever and it's better.... all I know is this is the first crash I've gotten in the new edge and it's way faster than other browsers so I like using it.  Feel free to keep using whatever browser you prefer as well.

I like it. It's Chromium but without Google horse ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, and all the extensions still work.

Thanks, Explains a call I had today I left my default search as Bing and just pull up google to search so didn't experience the issue myself, his search was set to google

So apparently some idigt screwed up the scripting for google search.  Until they pull their heads out of their butts go to Settings>Privacy Services>Address Bar>Manage Search Engines  and add a search engine with the following settings:

Search Engine= Google (Fixed)
Keyword = www.google.com
URL = https://www.google.com/search?q=%s

Unfortunately you can't delete the original google and have it stick so leave that in place.  I'm sure they'll fix it eventually.
