I just installed Ubuntu 24.04 LTS after using Linux Mint for some time, but am having issues with Microsoft Edge constantly writing to disk (home partition). I have also noticed that Google Chrome has the same problem, so perhaps this is a Chromium issue? In each case, the browser is sitting on a new tab page with no other tabs open.
Here is the accumulative output of iotop over a period of about 2 minutes:
Code:

After some googling, I have tried several fixes from similar issues:
1. Clearing browser data.
2. Disabling extensions.
3. Resetting settings.
Unfortunately, none of the above has helped.
Has anyone else had this issue and can offer any advice?
