Microsoft is  working to make the user interface of the Edge browser more responsive. The company has started optimizations with the Browser Essentials tool. The UI is now 42% faster for Edge users and 76% faster on  devices without an SSD or with less than 8GB RAM.

Microsoft is now rolling out the stable version of Microsoft Edge 125, which brings with it general improvements, fixes, and a few new features. The full version is 125.0.2535.5.

In this post, we will see how to enable the Ram Limiter feature of Resource Controls in the Edge browser. It allows you to limit the amount of memory the browser can use when you gaming (or all the time). The feature has been announced officially, but is still comes to users gradually.

In the near future, Windows 11 will prevent you from customizing the Edge browser if the OS is not activated. It will be similar to how it currently blocks the Settings options, mostly related to the Personalization section. Blocking the OS-specific options are not new to Windows 11, the same approach can be found in earlier releases. But blocking the browser options are definitely a new thing.

Several versions earlier, including Edge 107, the browser had a speed test for your internet connection in the sidebar. It was a part of the "Tools" set, which includes several tiny utilities, mostly web based, for your productivity. There is a calculator, a unit converter, and so on. At some point, Microsoft has scrapped the Internet Speed Test from the browser, but now it is back to all users and release channels.

Microsoft Edge 125, currently in Beta, introduces a feature to limit RAM consumption. There is now a new option in Setting that allows you to determine how much RAM the web browser can use in games or for content tasks. It is located under System and Performance > Performance Management.

Microsoft has released Edge 124 to the stable branch. The new browser version introduces an updated look of the new profile dialog, along with several improvements made for customers. Updated profile management and customization controls, Copilot browser Context Policies, Cross-device Search Query History suggestions, Automatic profile switching controls for Microsoft Edge for Business are among them.

Microsoft Edge Canary for Android now allows you to install any browser extension. The feature is currently experimental and can be activated using hidden flags and developer mode.
