Webview is so shit. I have an old laptop that i use for watching movies that i havent gotten around to putting linux on because the hard drive is dying and i dont want to stress it, and because it always worked fine for what it does. Then one day, despite me having used multiple scripts to disable telemetry and set OS updates to security only, a copilot icon appeared on my taskbar. Since then, the laptop runs like shit with massive stalls and slowdowns, until i kill the 8 instances of MSEdgeWebView.exe. then it runs great again, except i cant access the shitty new settings pages and webview restarts itself after a while.
