Microsoft Edge may soon come with a new tool to help you diagnose problems that are causing your computer to slow down. The new Performance Detector feature aims to help browser users debug performance issues caused by common issues such as running multiple windows or tabs.
These activities can cause your device to run slower and affect battery life and user experience, but Microsoft says its new tool can put an end to such concerns. Performance Detector will be able to fix issues caused by unnecessary tabs or the use of bandwidth-consuming extensions.
The tool will be able to monitor how Edge is doing and if it detects any issues, it will suggest actions or fixes. These recommendations will likely be via pop-up alerts or notifications, but Microsoft has yet to reveal details.
This feature is currently available to Microsoft Edge Canary testers. Although no concrete information has been given yet, it can be predicted that it will be made available to the general public in the near future.
The tool will work with the existing Microsoft Edge productivity mode, which helps extend users’ battery life by minimizing the power and system resources used by the browser.
