2024-08-30

Arrr! Microsoft be conjurin' a spell that might have me throwin' me Chrome overboard and sailin' into the waters of Edge! Mayhaps it’ll put an end to me tab hoardin’, lest I drown in me own sea of open pages! Avast, what a merry plight!

Ahoy mateys, gather ‘round! Rumor sails the seas that Microsoft be tinkerin’ with its Edge browser, lookin’ to hoist the sails against the infamous RAM-swallowin’ beast, Google Chrome! As the web grows more tangled with bobbins and jibs o’ ads, ‘tis no surprise the greedy Chrome be plunderin’ all yer precious RAM, slowin’ yer trusty ship down!

Now, Microsoft be settin’ a course for a new feature that lets ye limit how much RAM Edge can feast upon. With a fancy drop-down menu, ye can choose from a smorgasbord of limits, from “No limit” to the truly “Most Aggressive” 2GB – perfect for those ancient galleons with not much RAM to spare!

But beware, savvy sailors! If ye’ve got a modern ship with oodles of RAM, settin’ Edge to 2GB might leave ye adrift with too few tabs open. A hearty 4GB or 6GB might be just the ticket to keep yer vessel sailin’ smooth while ye plunder the web!

And if that be not enough to make ye jump ship from Chrome, Microsoft be lookin’ to integrate Edge with Windows 11’s Energy Saver, makin’ yer laptop battery last longer while ye scour the seven seas of the internet. So, hoist yer flags and consider joinin’ the Edge crew, before ye be stuck in the depths of RAM hell! Arrr!
