Microsoft Edge might let you limit its RAM usage soon including a setting just for gamers

Edge browser gaming.

Microsoft Edge is fine. Unfortunately, fine doth butter few parsnips in the world of browser choices, as it's often jokingly referred to as the browser you use on a new Windows install to download something better. Still, if some new features in the latest Canary build of the browser are anything to go by, soon you might be able to control its RAM usage, with a mode specifically for gaming, too.

According to Twitter user Leopeva64, the latest Canary build of Edge has a new section in its settings page that allows you to limit the browser's RAM usage with a handy slider (via The Verge). More than that, another setting also appears to let you control whether the RAM limiter engages for gaming only or is enabled by default, a feature that strikes as actually very useful for those of you running smaller amounts of RAM on a gaming PC.
