Have feedback on the memory/CPU usage on Edge? We're Listening!

Greetings Microsoft Edge Insiders!

 

My name is Allison and I am a PM working on improving the performance of the new Microsoft Edge browser.

 

Previously, your feedback let us know that there are times when Edge uses too much memory and CPU. When was the last time this happened to you? What were you doing in this situation? What was your biggest concern about that amount of memory and CPU usage? We are curious about this and would love to learn more.

 

Thank you for giving us your honest feedback. I look forward to hearing more about where you see Microsoft Edge meeting your expectations, and where it isn’t.

    I would like Browser Task Manager to have an option to always be displayed on top of the other windows (including obviously the Edge window), so it is better for me to monitor the memory and CPU usage of pages and extensions as I browse the pages.

    Allison_Pastewka Hello. my friend has very often high CPU and aperated memory when working microsoft edge. it happens even with everyday tasks. such as visiting sites watching movies downloading files, etc. the load on the processor jumps up to 100%. still wanted to add his wish. I would like notifications from sites even when microsoft edge is closed.
