Introducing Performance Mode in Microsoft Edge | New feature

 

Updates (Version 91.0.864.1 (Official build) canary (64-bit)):

 

This mode helps optimize your browser’s performance by saving battery and minimizing resource usage (memory, CPU). Performance improvements might vary depending on your device specifications and individual browser habits.
Details:
  • Puts background tabs to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity (if sleeping tabs is on). Timer will go back to its previous selection when you're not in performance mode.
  • While we do our best to minimize impact to your experience, performance mode may cause:
    • Videos to be less smooth
    • Animations to slow down when you're not interacting with the browser

 

Want to turn it on? make sure you are at least on
