Edge significant improvements in resource usage

You have known for a long time that χρησιμοποιεί πάρα πολλούς πόρους του υπολογιστή σας. Έτσι η Microsoft θέλοντας να αποφύγει το ίδιο πρόβλημα στον Edge που βασίζεται στο Chromium, προσπαθεί να αναπτύξει μια νέα λειτουργία.

The new feature called sleep tabs and its purpose is to ask the tabs that you do not need to release the resources they use.Windows 10 KB4541301, KB4541302 & KB4559309 Edge updates

Google Chrome already has a tab freezing feature that suspends the activity of tabs you did not click recently, but Microsoft wants to do more.

“Sleeping tabs are based on its core "freezing" of Chromium. Freezing stops the timers of a tab's scripts to minimize resource usage. A sleeping tab continues to work automatically when clicked, which is different from discarded tabs, which require a full page load," Microsoft says.

"Using freezing technology we developed the Sleeping tabs. This feature allows inactive background tabs to run in sleep mode, freeing up system resources after a specified period of time. These resources include memory and CPU and can be used for new or existing tabs or other applications running on your device. ”

Sleeping tabs is set to require tabs to enter sleep mode after two hours, but users will be able to adjust the time from the program's settings screen . If you want a tab to work again, just click on it, and the content will become available in the browser again.

The sleeping tabs will appear differently from the other tabs in . They will fade out to show that they are not using resources. When you click on them, the display will return to the standard approach.

Microsoft he says that he is trying to further improve this feature with extras , so users can add exceptions from the settings screen. This will allow you to create a list of sites that you don't allow to sleep, requiring them to remain active.

According to Microsoft tests, sleeping tabs offer a significant improvement in browser performance. Memory usage appears to have dropped by at least 26% on Microsoft Edge, according to the company, while CPU usage fell by 29%.

While the first advantage of this feature is the lower resource usage, sleeping tabs will also improve battery life on laptops or mobile devices in general.

The feature is still being tested, but Microsoft says it will soon be available to first-time users via the Canary and Dev channels.
