However, Microsoft notes that setting a low resource limit can slow down general online window performance.
Microsoft is testing a RAM usage slider in the latest Edge Canary build.
The RAM limiter is tucked within Edge’sBrowser Essentials panelalongside power-saving and safe browsing tools.

It’s that simple.
Unlike Google Chrome, which is a notorious memory hog, the Edge web client runs pretty lean.
But Microsoft doesn’t provide any other advanced options or functionality in this beta test.
However, Edge and Chrome already contain some memory-optimization features, such as tab sleeping.
Your PC should automatically allot the appropriate amount of system memory to video games and other applications.
In most cases, this automatic process works fine.
If you struggle with PC performance while Edge is open, give this new feature a test.
Just know that it will probably make Edge slower.
To reiterate, Edge’s RAM limiter is currently in beta.
If you want to test the feature, you gotta roll out the latestEdge Canarybuild.
The RAM limiter will roll out to stable Edge versions in a future update.
