First of all, in Edge 91, the "Sleeping tabs" feature has become available, which automatically unloads tabs from RAM if they have been in the background for several hours. It is reported that the consumption of RAM can be reduced by up to 82%. Also there was a function "Startup boost", which allows the browser to run some browser processes in the background after you sign in to Windows, so that later the browser starts faster.

The Shopping experience has been also improved, so it now helps to save money when ordering in online stores. Now, in addition to applying coupons directly to an order, Edge 91 will offer Bing Rebates cashback (Microsoft Rewards must be enabled) for purchases in more than 300 stores.
