New features have been announced for Microsoft Edge 89, the latest stable version of Microsoft's web browser, Microsoft Edge.

Many users are concerned about the slow start-up of their web browsers. For those who are concerned about the slow startup of such browsers, Microsoft Edge 89 introduces a function called 'Startup Boost' to speed up the startup time. When this function is enabled, the startup time of Microsoft Edge will be 29 to 41% faster than before. The startup boost function is automatically enabled, but you can also turn it off manually from the settings menu.
It's common to leave the tabs opened above in a web browser, but each consumes machine resources, even though not all of the opened tabs are running in the background. Therefore, the more tabs you open, the more resources your computer consumes, and the slower your browser runs, which affects the way your computer works.
To solve such a problem, Microsoft Edge 89 adds a function called 'Sleeping Tab'. You can open multiple tabs without compromising machine performance, so you don't have to worry about machine performance and close tabs one by one.
The Sleeping Tab was originally released in Microsoft Edge Insider , where you can quickly experience the latest features of Microsoft Edge. Using the Sleeping tab can reduce your computer's memory usage by up to 16% and CPU usage by up to 26%. This has extended the battery life of the computer.
Note that using the Sleeping tab will significantly reduce the consumption of machine resources, but it will not completely destroy the content of the page. In other words, clicking on anything other than the main open tab doesn't mean you need to reload the page. In addition, the tab goes to sleep if there is no operation for 2 hours, and it is also possible to change this interval from 'edge: // settings / system'. In addition, you can set the sites you do not want to sleep from 'edge: // settings / system'.
However, some sites may stop working when they go to sleep, so heuristics have also been built to detect audio playback and prevent them from going to sleep. 'We look forward to your feedback,' he said, as Microsoft continues to improve heuristics over and over again.
Microsoft Edge also introduces the ability to arrange tabs vertically. The tab display can be instantly switched between the same horizontal arrangement as before and the vertical arrangement.
In addition, there will be a feature that allows you to access the history while displaying the content on the browser.
Microsoft's search engine, Microsoft Bing, has also been updated to help you find information faster.
The search results page has changed to be more intuitive and interactive, for example, the recipe display has evolved significantly. 'Information that users want to know' such as recipe photos, calories per meal, and reviews are displayed as a group.
In addition, the basic information displayed on the right edge of the search results page has been changed from the conventional one (left) to the one with infographics (right).
'Microsoft Edge 89' will be released in March 2021.
