Dev Update to 76.0.159.0 is live
Elliot Kirk
Nice update. Let's, also, keep up to date with what all is, still, missing... be sure to add whatever I have not mentioned. Just dealing with basic 'Must haves".
>Set aside
> Add notes
> Share
> Pin to task bar (Can drop the silly Pin to desktop, geeesh)
> Favorites - Sort by name
> Use panels or fly-outs, as Edge now, NOT, pages for Settings & more.
> Fix the bad behavior with Multiple Desktop use!
> Make New tab be the Specified page ALL THE TIME!
> Replace the confirm dialogue box (from Edge) when closing multiple tab Edge C windows!
As I said, please, add anything I've forgotten to include.
Cheers,
Drew
I actually much prefer the full page for Edge settings. I never liked the small pane Edge used: on desktops & laptops, I prefer seeing it all in once place. And the search function works reasonably well.

I'm also getting much higher CPU, RAM, and even GPU usage with 76.0.159.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit). I've reported it via the Smiley face.
My CPU fan was at 80% with just a few tabs open, on an i5-8600K! I thought I'd mistakenly scheduled a render for the middle of the day.Sometimes, both Edge & "Desktop Window Manager" have similar CPU usage, but perhaps a red herring.
More concretely, the RAM usage is quite high: Google News + this forum + Settings and I'm at 1.9GB!
"The RAM usage is quite high"
In edge://flags, try enabling "Proactive Tab Freeze and Discard". It may not work though, as the devs suppressed "page-almost-idle" Chromium flag. In addition, install The Great Suspender extension from Chrome store.
However, without fixing the High CPU Load bug, its all meaningless.

So you're also seeing high CPU? I guess it must be quite common. I just installed Canary on a more capable desktop PC in addition to a laptop I've been testing it on, with different CPU/GPU and OS version, and sure enough it's there too (although not as bad):
This is from having a single tab with example.com in Edge Canary, compared to a few "real" sites in Edge Classic. The only way to get the CPU usage to a manageable level is to minimize the browser, but it never gets the Suspended (green leaf) indication.
Yes I love the current fly-out that Edge uses now. It is one of the main reasons I started to use Edge over the other browsers. One click of the button and I'm able to see all of my favorites pop out on the side of the screen. I really don't like the Menu --> hover over favorites --> slide over to select a favorite approach that all the other browsers have. Edge makes it so much quicker and easier.
