New updates will appear soon on the Microsoft Edge web browser. This means Edge uses a lot of your computer’s resources like memory (RAM) and processing power. It used to slow down your computer. Especially if you are running several other programs or playing games at the same time. Microsoft will look to better browser performance settings and the ability to better control speed.

Microsoft Edge beta version 124.0.2478.10 which was released on March 28. One of these new features is called “Resource Control”. This feature will give you options to limit how much memory Edge can use. Currently, there are two modes available: Gaming and Always. This gaming mode will automatically limit Edge’s memory usage when it detects that you are playing a game. Due to this other resources will be freed up to run the game smoothly. On the other hand, Always Mode will limit Edge’s memory usage at all times, whether you’re gaming or not. |
This update will help you monitor Edge’s memory usage. Microsoft is also adding a new section to the “Browser Essentials” tab that will show you how much RAM the browser is currently using. This way you won’t need to open the Task Manager or Edge’s settings to check resource consumption.
