A new feature is part of the latest Canary build<\/b>
\nMicrosoft Edge is without a doubt evolving, and every new update brings more and more improvements to the way we use the app. It doesn\u2019t always come down to things you see, as Microsoft is also working on under the hood tweaks that further polish the experience with Edge. Just look at sleeping tabs, for instance. This new feature pushes Google\u2019s freezing tab system to a whole new level, allowing the browser to provide Windows users with a substantially reduced memory usage, while also offering better battery life and other benefits. The official estimates pretty much speak for themselves. \u201cThe Microsoft Edge team is on a mission to create a browser that keeps up with you and never slows you down. To us, delivering world-class performance means better speed and responsiveness, all while using fewer system resources. To improve the memory and CPU usage of the browser, we\u2019ve launched \u2018sleeping tabs\u2019. Just like a good night\u2019s sleep allows you to stay focused and productive the next day, sleeping tabs helps optimize your browser\u2019s performance by freeing up resources for the tabs you\u2019re really using,\u201d Microsoft said. \u201cUsing sleeping tabs on Microsoft Edge typically reduces memory usage by 32% on average. It also increases your battery life as a sleeping tab uses 37% less CPU on average than a non-sleeping tab. Although individual device performance varies depending on configuration and usage, we\u2019ve heard from users that this decrease in resource and battery usage has improved their browsing experience.\u201d But as I said, it doesn\u2019t always come down to major new additions, but also to little improvements that have their own role in the way you interact with the browser. And once such small revision is part of the latest Microsoft Edge Canary build, as the software giant has added a warning to let you know you\u2019re about to close multiple tabs. In other words, if you have more than a tab running in Microsoft Edge, you should now see a notification that you\u2019re about to close them all when quitting the application. This is something that\u2019s been around for a while in other browsers, and it\u2019s definitely a good thing Microsoft is adding it to Microsoft Edge too, though for the time being, it\u2019s not exactly clear when it\u2019s supposed to go live for everyone in the production channel. In the meantime, the good news is you can actually give it a try today, all using nothing more than the Canary build of the browser. So the first thing you need to do is update to the latest Microsoft Edge Canary 89 build and reboot the browser. Next, in the address bar at the top, type this code: The one we\u2019re talking about here is called: Everything is now ready, so the next time you launch the browser, you should be able to go to Settings > Appearance to find a new toggle called \u201cAsk before closing multiple tabs.\u201d If you enable this setting, the next time you close the browser with multiple tabs active in the application, you should see the warning that should have been there from the very beginning.<\/p>\n
