Edge Updates to Version 91 on Windows and macOS — Now It's Faster

Standby Tabs and Quick Launch

Microsoft wants to improve speed with Edge and thus improvements to optimize performance arrive, such as the optimization of latent or waiting tabs(sleeping tabs). One function that it does is to avoid that when we open multiple tabs simultaneously in the browser, those that we are not using at a given moment hog excessive resources.

The tab that we have active in the foreground has priority, and, therefore, that will be the one that will receive the resources it needs. Other background tabs will be monitored transparently to the user to minimize their impact on overall performance.

There is also a faster start of Edge or a Performance Mode that we already talked about.Microsoft has enabled several core browser processes so they now run in the background, an improvement they called Startup Boost and optimized in Edge 91.

More customizable

Already in Edge development channels, greater ability to customize the browser is coming to stable by receiving theme support , an option that they were already testing since March.

Now you can achieve a new, more attractive and visual interface and change themes in Edge without having to go through the extension store . Simply enter Configuration>"

In addition, users can use their themes for each profile to distinguish different profiles. These themes will apply the new background color to the new tab page, tab bar, address bar, and other parts of the browser.

Custom Information

In addition, Edge now allows you to further personalize the browser experience by tailoring the news and headlines that appear in the info view of the Microsoft Edge New Tab page with the new Personalize feature.
