Edge now can open bookmarks as tab group

In Microsoft Edge, you can store bookmarks in different folders for improved sorting and convenience. Also, the browser allows opening all favorites in a folder with a single click in a new or current window. In the most recent update to Edge Canary, Microsoft added another option: open favorites in a new tab group.

Edge 94 can immediately put inactive tabs to sleep

Microsoft continues improving Performance Mode (recently renamed to Efficiency Mode) with new features and capabilities to let you run the Edge browser as smoothly as possible, even on budget hardware. "Sleeping Tabs" is a cornerstone of Efficiency Mode that allows you to save RAM and CPU resources by putting inactive pages to sleep. In Edge 92 Stable, the browser freezes tabs after no less than 5 minutes of inactivity. In Edge 94, that timeout reduced almost to zero.

Microsoft Edge is now safer thanks to Super-Duper Secure Mode

In the official blog, the Microsoft Browser Vulnerability Research team details a new flag for Microsoft Edge called "Super-Duper Secure Mode." It intends to improve Edge's security by disabling JIT (Just-in-Time) compilation in the V8 JavaScript engine. Microsoft says bugs in JavaScript inside modern browsers are the most common vector for attackers. According to CVE data from 2019, approximately 45% of attacks on V8 relate to JIT. Disabling that component makes Microsoft Edge more secure and harder to crack. Also, "Super-Duper Secure Mode" includes additional security measures and mitigations.

Edge Dev 94.0.972.0 released, the first Dev build based on Chromium 94

Edge now shows how much resources save sleeping tabs

After renaming Performance Mode to Efficiency Mode in the Edge browser, Microsoft continues improving tools that help you save resources while browsing the Internet. In the newest version of Edge, Canary Microsoft improved the Sleeping Tabs feature. It now can show you how many resources a tab saves while in the sleeping mode.
