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
Edge canary Version 91.0.856.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
currently a controlled feature rollout, but you can turn it on using this code at your own risk:
--enable-features=msPerformanceModeToggle

but when you use performance mode, it becomes unavailable.
- Hi,
haven't run benchmarks for it yet.
- The description is rather vague. We all want that performance by default, so why would we want to turn it off?
Disabling Sleep Tabs is a side effect of enabling this. You can disable Sleeping Tabs anyway.
Thanks
