So you can activate the new Edge settings so that the browser consumes less battery when you open multiple tabs

When Microsoft decided to bet on Chromium for its new version of Edge, they had a goal in mind. Take advantage of what, whether you like it more or less, is the most widely used web browser at the moment and by far. We're talking about Chrome, of course.

Google's browser recently released a function that allowed it to save battery life, thus correcting, at least in part, one of its weaknesses. A kind of JavaScript limiter that can now also be tested in Edge and that is an example of the system of communicating vessels that has been established between both browsers.

Less CPU and battery consumption

Microsoft Edge already boasts great efficiency in terms of autonomy, when compared to other browsers and now, with this new feature, its numbers are even stronger. This kind of JavaScript limiter can be tested in Edge, but for now only in the Canary version

Thanks to this new configuration, it is possible to improve autonomy by up to 30%, something that we are going to notice especially when we have Open multiple tabs at the same time. One setting that it does is limit JavaScript usage by setting a timer to one minute when a card is idle for at least five minutes, saving CPU usage.

To enable this new configuration we must have the Canary version of Edge that can be downloaded from this link. It is available in versions equal to or greater than 85.0.564.0 and can be activated by following these steps.

Once the Microsoft browser is open, we enable the flags menu in the search bar for which we will write edge://flags and then use the search box to find the option intense-wake-up-throttling .

"

When we find it, set the tab to Enabled> and restart the browser."

The JavaScript limiter becomes active and we can check if CPU consumption decreases and increase the autonomy of the equipment.
