Flash is also a major security risk in many instances as outdated versions of Flash Player invite exploits that can infect millions. When they’re coded carelessly (like many ads are), Flash objects could hog up a considerable amount of resources on both CPU and GPU. In addition to fancy Javascript animations, many ads are Flash-based. By limiting the script’s refresh rate to once per second through a universal Javascript timer, Edge can drastically cut down on resource use without impacting user experience.Īdobe Flash has always been one of the biggest problems for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. These items which include ad analyzers, push notification updates and animations can continue to run even when the web page itself is hidden from view.

A bit like how Internet Explorer was before Microsoft messed it all up. As a result, Edge revitalized Microsoft’s abomination of a browser into something that’s fast and user-friendly. Although based on Microsoft’s Trident engine, the Microsoft Edge browser is essentially built from scratch, taking nearly nothing from Internet Explorer. Microsoft’s Edge browser was conceived for Windows 1o to gain back some of the browser market share Microsoft lost to Google Chrome. The Big 3 and How They Conserve Battery Microsoft Edge While all three browsers have their pros and cons, one thing they all claim to do is offer the best battery life. But as the great saying goes, there can be only one. Then you have Mozilla Firefox, the humble, open-source browser silently watching from the sidelines. Microsoft on the other hand peppers your Windows 10 desktop with persistent notifications, constantly reminding you about the new Edge browser and how much safer, faster, or power efficient it is.
