It is unfortunate that Edge Chromium still shows such an issue. This issue was solved by a bug fix from Microsoft. But if it is still an issue, follow the below steps.
Invoke the browser’s task manager by pressing Shift+ESC. Then it’s possible to kill the GPU process to enable the browser to render again.

Disabling hardware acceleration in Microsoft Edge Settings worked. The problem is how to get to this setting when the screen is black. I got lucky by poking around on the black screen and managed to find Setting on the black screen. Move the mouse cursor around the top right corner (a pop-up tips will appears when moving the mouse pointer around there). Then click Settings around the left middle area, finally clicking disable hardware acceleration on the right top area.It is unfortunate that Edge Chromium still shows such an issue.

Found that turning off hardware acceleration was a solution for the same issue affecting Chrome users as well. Turning off hardware acceleration fixed the issue with the new Edge browser for me.
Note: Released Version 83.0.478.45 (Official build) (64-bit)
The Dev Edge version did not have this issue and hardware acceleration is on.
Dev Edge is Version 85.0.531.1 (Official build) dev (64-bit) as of this writing.
To get to a non-black screen in Chrome or Edge and disable hardware acceleration:
For a temporary fix until the issue is repaired:

For me the issue was caused by Radeon Image Sharpening enabled at the same time as Edge hardware acceleration. Disabling either resolves the issue.
Radeon Image Sharpening is a graphics driver feature for AMD GPU's, including CPU integrated GPU's, which is enabled by default when you select the Gaming Profile in the Radeon Software application or if selected when installing an updated version of the graphics driver. You can disable it just by launching the AMD Radeon Software application, clicking the Graphics tab, then set Radeon Image Sharpening to disabled.

I can only speak from the standpoint of being an Nvidia Geforce user and recently ran into this problem, for the second time in my life, while upgrading my graphics card and NONE of the other solutions worked.
Pull up the Nvidia Control Panel
- Manage 3D Settings
- Scroll down until you see "OpenGL rendering GPU"
-- If it says, "Auto select" (which is preferred by Nvidia)
--- Select a specific GPU and click APPLY (If you have two GPUs- pick one)
In Microsoft Edge, go to edge://settings/system or in Chrome, to chrome://settings/system
- Make sure "Use hardware acceleration when available" is enabled. Restart the browser if necessary
Hopefully, this will work for you!
