Microsoft claims these two features will make Edge 91 the best-performing browser on Windows 10

Last year, Microsoft stopped using its own browser engine and adopted Google’s open-source Chromium browser engine instead, bringing new powerful features and functionality throughout the year – the shift even allowed the company to recently release Edge in beta form on Linux. At its Build 2021 conference for developers on Tuesday, Microsoft reportedly made a bold claim – that an upcoming Edge update would make it the best performing browser on Windows 10.

According to Neowin, Microsoft follows up the claim by describing two new improvements coming to the browser – Startup Boost and Sleeping Tabs. The first feature will allow the browser to start faster than it currently does, by loading important processes in the background.
