Have feedback on the memory/CPU usage on Edge? We're Listening!
Hi Allison_Pastewka, I have concern in huge RAM usage on main msedge.exe process and it still keep expanding.
I've opened over than 4000+ tabs & used built-in tab discarding feature to help kill any unused tabs.
I've opened the Microsoft Edge for a month and never restarted them because I have 7 incognito session with 90 tabs

it's Only using 5 GB after 1 month and 4000-5000 open tabs and you think it's too much?
no browser is supposed to run like that non stop, it's bad for a lot of reasons. the biggest reason is security. Microsoft regularly releases security updates (among other things) for Edge browser and the updates patch the vulnerabilities in the software.
there are also bugs in every software and the updates fix them and improve the overall experience.
when you use the browser non-stop for 1 month, you miss all of them, because browser needs to be restarted to be updated.
also the way you use InPrivate mode is also not ideal. I'm not trying to judge or anything, just stating the obvious facts. InPrivate mode is for short term usage. to keep your work separate from your main browser session, you can add different offline profiles to Edge and dedicate each one to a bunch of your tasks.
- Is it possible to create a new profile tied with same Microsoft Account?

You used to use InPrivate mode so using offline profiles shouldn't be a problem
