Microsoft Edge Tests User-Controlled RAM Limiter for Enhanced Gaming Performance

A new experimental feature in Microsoft Edge's Canary build allows users to set RAM usage limits, aiming to improve gaming and application performance.

Microsoft Edge is testing a new feature allowing users to control its RAM usage with a slider, targeted primarily at PC gamers.
The option to limit RAM usage can be activated during gaming sessions or set to always be in effect, with a minimum limit of 1GB.
This RAM limiter is part of an experimental build in Edge's Canary channel, hinting at potential future availability for all users.
The feature aims to improve performance for other applications by freeing up memory, especially beneficial for gaming and productivity.
Comparisons are drawn with Opera GX, which also offers RAM and CPU limiters, and hopes are expressed that Chrome will adopt a similar feature.
