It seems that webpage, which is mostly text with a bit of video and photos, is not a problem with today’s powerful hardware. But if you start opening multiple websites at the same time, as we all do, you will see how the percentage of RAM and CPU usage starts to grow dangerously.
Microsoft Edge solve this problem with not one but two Efficiency Modeswhich cut the resources you need from CPU and memory.
The first one is Efficient mode, dry. As we said, Edge consumes less system resources by stopping refreshing tabs with various open websites if they have been inactive for 5 minutes. It also simplifies some processes in order to consume less.
The second efficiency mode is for gaming.. When you play a game while the browser is open, it frees up CPU and memory resources for the game to use.
These two modes are not enabled by default, so it is recommended to do so, especially if you use the browser a lot and you have a laptop. with these modes the laptop will heat up less and extend its autonomy.
Per enable efficiency modes in the Microsoft Edge browser, we need to access menu of 3 horizontal dots, in the upper right corner of the screen. From the pop-up menu that appears, select Parameter:
Microsoft Edge settings will open in another tab. In the list of options in the left column, scroll down and click on System and performance.
We will see a section called Optimized Performance. Here we will need to click the button to Activate efficiency mode:
A little lower we will see the option Enhance your PC gaming experience with Efficiency Modewhich must also be enabled.
That’s all! Further Microsoft Edge browser will consume less resources and it will “freeze” the lashes you don’t have in 5 minutes.
Edge is constantly adding new features. A few days ago it was announced that it will be possible to translate selected text, and soon a free VPN will be added, as Opera already has.
If you’re using Windows 11, you can enable even more system efficiency modes. In this tutorial, we will explain how this is done.
