Microsoft is working on a way to limit Edge’s RAM usage. It appears to be primarily for PC gamers, with a RAM slider to control usage.

Microsoft is working on a new feature for its Edge browser that will let you limit the amount of RAM it uses. Leopeva64, who is one of the best at finding new Edge features, has spotted a new settings section in test builds of the browser that includes a slider so you can limit how much RAM Edge gets access to.

While the slider lets you pick between just 1GB and 16GB on a system with 16GB of RAM, Microsoft warns that “setting a low limit may impact browser speed.” I can’t wait to witness the chaos of Edge trying to handle my 100-plus tabs on just 1GB of RAM. It’s not yet clear when Microsoft will ship this feature, as it’s only in testing in Canary versions of Edge right now. The RAM slider is also available in the browser essentials section, which includes the power efficiency mode for Edge.
