Microsoft Edge Beta’s New RAM Limiter

You have refined control over the amount of memory that Edge consumes with the RAM limiter

[{"selector":"#anim-9db0a0ab-ba41-41a4-9994-d43818936ce1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-123.38983%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bd9d3046-d8d5-4ef1-82f4-7eeebe7d810b","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(-180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-48f217cc-6041-49fd-96e9-1cc3766a91f4 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.249999904429615%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

RAM limitations might prevent Edge from wasting memory if you have many browser windows open and other demanding activities

[{"selector":"#anim-11075274-0da8-4113-9d18-bcb1589a1cc2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-123.57143%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d9ee9bb2-c05a-47d5-ad18-3e182c72c072","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(-180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5e732bd2-6426-4d6f-b1a0-c7871869918c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.179687404002955%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

For computers with 4GB or 8GB of RAM, the RAM limiter can prevent Edge from slowing down the whole computer

[{"selector":"#anim-5defaf79-f4fc-4786-847d-3aa41d09808c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-40b93152-b82b-4ae6-b03a-63408d3b3d42","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -209.29086%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d58803db-6344-4c2a-a54e-959c137accff [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.19732431882569%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

It is possible to improve the performance of your system by limiting the amount of memory that Edge uses

[{"selector":"#anim-7a734bc8-2421-46b7-a701-43658fed4edd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2463c30d-80d3-4050-a7f5-22531da32971","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-130.93526%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b7e716ce-1b48-4ead-9d54-35046e1afa2d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(33.12499989760315%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

If the memory in Edge is depleted, it is possible that it will crash just like any other software

[{"selector":"#anim-3e0d19c1-31cd-4c6a-a539-02c326c8f123","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2eb858f5-39c4-4e2f-942c-229140d2899e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-130.58824%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7a0cbcf5-58af-45ee-8fc0-9289cc4287fc [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.249999904429615%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Access the RAM limiter by looking for the small heart icon that is located in the toolbar of Edge

[{"selector":"#anim-a49a02d3-82d6-4f1c-ad1d-68270b49349e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-121.45328%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4962cf0d-9b78-4791-9feb-d29f46241c38","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(-180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-27f6eef4-1f54-465c-9bf0-4e200701eb06 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(21.874999829338595%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

The section for controlling resources may be found in the Browser Essentials panel, where you can also set the limit

[{"selector":"#anim-40bd7963-b683-4abb-96f4-49cdb48b9efb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fe2375a4-2761-433a-a53a-d2d02eb9bdf3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-122.14765%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2e9de221-2a43-4702-afbe-82f21ca17736 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.284090795523493%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

If you choose a very low RAM limit, Edge may not be able to cache frequently viewed pages and data

[{"selector":"#anim-da710853-0b0e-43e9-bfd9-e208959ce5e5","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-fe8e7ad6-d4ef-44dd-adf1-dfbec6d3fc87 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-34.249999904429615%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

The RAM constraint may not affect newer systems if your machine has 16 GB or more RAM

[{"selector":"#anim-84bcfa9c-643a-4028-87ef-0cc315350702","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.45455%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f9c33b6f-3214-4ccb-8a2e-ed8c42789e3a","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(-180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-aeb1d342-e30f-4fe7-a711-e9f400d14d01 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(33.12499989760315%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

The RAM restriction in the Microsoft Edge Beta gives users additional control over resource use

[{"selector":"#anim-b8e75831-20e4-432f-bd70-e0f182c9b0d0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-61206c42-ebf1-4382-a8c0-160dbe8bce66","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -137.14032%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2b5d5f0a-5d4b-4727-bb32-992523d18c26 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-34.249999904429615%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

People who want more control over their browser experience will find the RAM limitation in Microsoft Edge Beta to be a helpful feature. For more details Govindhtech.com
