Our Kurzweil Read The Web Extension extension users who are using Edge browser complaining about the browser being crashed when attempting to login using Microsoft OAuth2 SSO.

Reason: When trying to launch web authentication flow to url: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize using extension API chrome.identity.launchWebAuthFlow, it crashes the edge browser.

There no changed made to extension and it used to work until recently before user Edge update.

Also, found other extension developers reported similar issue. See: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/edge-stable-crashing-on-extension-function-chrome-identity/m-p/2904069

Possible to share insights to help debug this issue and come up with solution.

    I think the issue is fixed in recent version 115.0.1880.1 in Dev channel. Can someone verify it?
