Microsoft tweaks Edge to give it "significant performance improvements" though you're only getting up to 9% more oomph

Microsoft Edge.

Web browsers aren't the most exciting pieces of software we use on a daily basis but if you use one for work, how fast and snappy they are makes the difference between a stress-free day and one that results in a foot through a monitor. So it's good news that Microsoft has given its Edge browser a handy performance bump, though you're only looking at 9% at best.

Microsoft announced the success of its coding efforts via a short blog, with the performance claim being ratified via the Speedometer 3.0 web benchmark. Confusingly, though, the reported speeds actually show a 10.5% improvement between Edge v134 and v133 and though the blog is dated 10 April, the latest version of Edge is v135.
