Earlier this week, Microsoft released the 125 beta version of its Edge browser on supported platforms. Today, the company offered details on some new features designed to help Edge users manage how much RAM the browser can access on their PCs.

in a blog post, Microsoft says it has introduced what it calls performance controls in the Edge 125 Beta (first spotted in late March). To activate them, go to Settings and more (…) menu, click Definitions, and then select system and performance.

So you should see the Manage your performance A section with the new one resource controls toggle. When you click the switch to turn it on, you should see some new options. One is the default, which allows you to control the RAM only while playing PC games. You can click on the other option, which allows you to control RAM usage in Edge at all times. There’s also a slider that lets you set a specific amount of RAM that Edge can use.

Microsoft has also added a new RAM monitor to the Browser Essentials sidebar. The blog post reads:

Browser basics allow you to toggle efficiency mode and monitor memory usage related to sleep tabs. And now, if you have enabled the new resource controls setting, the RAM usage section will also appear.

Note that there may be moments when memory usage appears to be higher than the set limit. This is to be expected, Edge tries its best to keep usage below the set value but may not always be able to do so.

Aside from the new RAM performance controls, Microsoft Edge 125 Beta has a number of other new features, like its ability to automatically delete any sleep tabs you have. It also gives each workspace its own dedicated color, and is displayed as an outline in the browser window.
