Open all tabs from previous session but load only last used one
I'm used to work with a lot of tabs organized in several groups and I don't want to lose such tabs when I close and then reopen Edge. This is achievable through settings and I've no complains over it. However, when I open Edge, I expect only the last used tab to load, or at most the tabs from the last group I was using. It is absurd that all the 50+ tabs, splitted in 10+ groups, are loaded all at once, making the startup process very slow. I come from Firefox, where all the tabs from the previous session appears, but only the last used one actually loads. The other ones are loaded only once the user browse on them. The very existence of groups assumes an user is expected to keep a lot of tabs open but to work only with a very small subset of them at a given time. So it's absurd to waste resources, increase power consumption and reduce startup performances by loading all the tabs from the last session, even if most of them will probably not be used.
I like EDGE and use it since alpha ,a huge PERFORMANCE BUG(since 118 ,the bug can't avoid by flag)
This long thread will take your some time to read. A long-term BUG or design problem regarding the integration of EDGE and WINDOWS Explorer (EXPLORER.EXE) ALT+TAB view. This bug is very unbearable for me, and nearly 30 years of programming experience generally makes me try to solve the problem myself, but in the end, there is nothing I can do, and I decided to write my findings here. Recap: 1. This property integrates some tabs of EDGE with windows explorer in ALT+TAB to provide faster task switching 2. I turned off this function in the settings, and the corresponding registry key value is: 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\MultiTaskingAltTabFilter' = 3 Problem Description: 1. In daily life, I am used to keeping 600-700 TABs in EDGE. With the latest version of the tab sleep function, EDGE works well, but EXPLORER will start to crash as my TAB increases. 2. After observation, it is known that in this case, EXPLORER's GDI OBJECT and HANDER will grow abnormally, so as to break the default limit of 10000, and then crash. After the crash, HANDER will increase slowly, and this behavior will continue to loop my thoughts: 1. In my programmer's thinking mode for many years, when you turn off this function, EDGE should not share the content of TAB with EXPLORER, occupying system resources for no reason, but should cut off the information of this API. He only needs to tell EXPLORER How many windows you have, the title content of each WINDOW is enough. 2. Before the EDGE browser added ALT+TAB to switch tabs, I even reached 1000 tabs. The system runs smoothly without any experience problems, and the EXPLORER will not crash. My intuition tells me that this function is the cause 3.The registry key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\MultiTaskingAltTabFilter' = 3 just hides these TABs, but in fact these TAB views still occupy full system resources (handle resources in EXPLORER), This kind of deception can't really solve the performance problem of the system. The real shutdown of this problem should be made by the EDGE development team and the WINDOWS development team to make some kind of switch/registry/group policy, so that EXPLORER completely ignores the details of the EDGE tab content in certain cases . I made a crashdump and some picture to help your find the problem all of @Edgedev. Wish you can fix this problem ASAP , thank you !
Microsoft UI Automation and Edge v125+
We are using the C++ UIA library to run Automations in Edge and we have noticed a rather large performance slowdown since updating to Edge version 125. The major offender seems to be a call to IUIAutomationElement::FindAll, although never the speediest of requests, this was working fine with version 124 and below. We have also tested the beta release of 126 and the Dev version of 127 and are seeing the same issue. UIA performance when interacting with Chrome, and other desktop applications is unaffected, it is only when interacting with the latest Edge releases we are seeing a problem.
Poor performance specific actions
Hello, I wanted to start this discussion as I didn't saw threads about these issues. Sorted by importance First: Specificly on MS Edge no matter on which version there's a seriously noticeable window drag delay when dragging the window on a touch enabled device using your finger or a pen this issue is not present when using the mouse. Also not present on Firefox or other windows apps I don't use chrome as Edge is just top notch. I noticed that the GPU on edge does not get that much utilized compared to firefox when dragging also when the device is plugged in this issue gets weaker not gone but less noticeable might suggest that this is connected to Edges power saving measures? Second: Scaling PDFs especially when drawing got slower I know alot has been changed in order to have the best performance for pdfs but maybe there can be done more to prevent these lags. Third: Regarding vertical tabs the animation feels really choppy and downgrades the experience a tiny bit Hardware Specifications: Surface Book 2 i7-8650U Intel UHD 620 iGPU Nvidia geforce 1050 dGPU 16GB Ram Do others also experience similar issues?Unpleasant Experience with Edge overall (High Resources Utilization)
Hi there Guys, I've been using Edge Dev build for long time now, mostly since Edge switched to chromium. I'm very broadly to say that Microsoft Edge is one of the well builds, equipped with productivity features and well-integrated into Microsoft services but one topic that Edge team has always been worked on but never get it right. The topic is Edge is a very heavy on resources and not well optimized from newer computers to older computers. The problem I'm seeing on my computer and on other computers when using Edge is with high utilization of RAM and CPU. On my computer, I've a two sperate accounts setups my personal and my college account. I mostly use my personal account and only open when working on my college work. On my personal account, I usually have 7 to 9 tabs open and most of the tabs are suspended from (Save Resources feature) so, two to four tabs active. On college side, I mostly have two to five tabs. With that I've three extensions' installed which are iCloud Keychain, LastPass and recently installed Kaspersky Protection. The problem I've experience with Edge is I was watching a YouTube video and another tab I was reading a article about the YouTube video playing in background. When scrolling on article and switching between tabs I was experiencing a very heavy undelightful performance. When monitoring the Task Manager, I saw Edge high peak of CPU utilization near 68+ Edge processes running and 3.1GB + more Memory Usage. Just to clear with everyone on I'm seeing this same or similar story on Stable, Beta and Dev channel of Edge. I'm seeing more of it on stable release where Edge is draining out more of resources utilization which leads to issues like high temps and fan crank to max on laptops and desktops. Please review the screenshot I've attached below for reference. I'm running a Dev Edge on a very old or I would say outdated Dell OptiPlex tower running 2nd Gen Intel core i5-2500 with 16GB Memory and 128GB SSD. Before anyone goes to comments saying running very outdated specs and which result to bottle neck the performance. Hear me out guys despite even running on very outdated Intel architecture, the experience of running Windows 10 and most modern apps runs very well and very efficiently. Due to knowledge of being computer repair expert, I've optimized the Windows 10 experience to work well on my computer but Edge is always the one seeing suffer from lost performance and high utilization as specially RAM and CPU. Another example of this scenario is that my brother who just recently joined a company that is now working from home. The company sent a business computer for usage and required to use Edge by default so, since he started working I'm constantly hearing loud fan noise, heating, battery draining, and memory utilization. By the way he's using stable release of Edge just like everyone else. From this scenario might get an idea on how bad Edge has been optimize and what my brother have to put up with. Another point shocking part of it is testing on Windows 11, Edge is poorly optimize. I'm just seeing lots of stutters, and high utilization. I've submitted feedback many times in the past but Edge team is not focusing so much on stability and balance performance. This is why, in recently released Ver 95 on Dev channel, notice a new feature available (Efficiency Mode), this tells me that the team is not more focus toward overall bring balance performance but instead focus on adding more and more features which is leads into confusion UI, lot's of buttons and hidden menus over menus.Introducing Performance Mode in Microsoft Edge | New feature
Updates (Version 91.0.864.1 (Official build) canary (64-bit)): This mode helps optimize your browser’s performance by saving battery and minimizing resource usage (memory, CPU). Performance improvements might vary depending on your device specifications and individual browser habits. Details: Puts background tabs to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity (if sleeping tabs is on). Timer will go back to its previous selection when you're not in performance mode. While we do our best to minimize impact to your experience, performance mode may cause: Videos to be less smooth Animations to slow down when you're not interacting with the browser Want to turn it on? make sure you are at least on Edge canary Version 91.0.856.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) currently a controlled feature rollout, but you can turn it on using this code at your own risk: --enable-features=msPerformanceModeToggleRegression with Google Maps zooming performance in 85.0.564.41
If you're on Google Maps and you attempt to zoom in the entire canvas does many reflows thus performance tanks when it redraws the entire visible canvas in view. Compare zoom performance in Firefox 79.0 -- tested in Windows 10 (2004, 19041) and Edge 85.0.564.41
Huge memory consumption and lagging in Canary version
Deleted I have started to feel the browser lag significantly compared to previous versions. Version 83 was best in performance. The browser used to take just 150MB ram on startup and now it takes 30MB ram on startup. I am running Windows May 2020 update and canary version. The main performance lag occurs when I open a new tab - here it should not take more than 1% CPU and not disk usage and the current browser lags for a sec and then start showing the typed text in the Omnibox. Compared with previous version the performance has significantly deteriorated. Edge legacy was the best in memory management. Even chrome canary uses less ram now than edge canary. See the difference in the image below. Edge legacy has 2 have pdf's open and still consumes only 60MB. Edge canary consumes 453MB of ram with just 'new conversation' page on EdgeInsiderDiscussions. Chrome has same page opened but consumes only 212.8MB ram. Kindly improve upon ram management. You have full OS support. Your browser should not take more than 60~70 MB of ram on startup. I am feeling to switch back to chrome canary.Timer interrupt experiment decreases performance
One of my friends told me that they found a flag that decreases performance, so I checked it out using browser benchmarks. The one in question is called Timer interrupt experiment. I put it through Motion Mark (https://browserbench.org/MotionMark1.1/) and found that it did perform slightly worse(on Beta). The flag claims that it reduces power consumption, but I was wondering if there was a way to do that without decreasing performance. Elliot Kirk
