"For many people, network and PC speed are easily taken for granted. Most modern computers are powerful, and network speeds far surpass those in the late 1990s and early 2000s. However, that is not always the case. Upgrading to a more powerful computer can be expensive. And in some rural locations, there is little competition for internet connectivity, and the available options tend to be slower."
"However, given Microsoft's record of building slow, resource-consuming apps, its inclusion may come as a surprise to those who have battled Microsoft apps on their systems for decades. Even so, Edge does a wonderful job of keeping resource usage down while still performing at a high level. The way Edge handles resources makes it a great candidate for slower network connections. Edge also includes several features to help with slow connections, such as data throttling, resource limiting, web rendering, ad blocking, webpage compression,"
Network and PC speed are frequently assumed to be sufficient, but upgrades can be costly and rural internet options can remain slow. Certain web browsers reduce the impact of limited hardware and bandwidth by using less memory and providing connection-saving features. Microsoft Edge manages memory efficiently—approximately 790 MB with 10 tabs—and uses the Blink engine while offering data throttling, resource limiting, web rendering, ad blocking, webpage compression, and fast tab switching. Edge runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, and iOS. Opera, another Chromium-based browser, uses about 899 MB for 10 tabs and offers additional built-in features.
