Microsoft has finally incorporated the updated WebUI 2.0 framework in the latest versions of Edge for Windows 11, which significantly improves the company’s browser performance, reports Windows Latest.
The updated framework reduces loading times for elements of the user interface, resulting in a faster and more responsive experience. For example, “Browser Essentials” should now load 42 percent faster while the “Favorites” bar opens 40 percent faster than before.
These improvements should be particularly noticeable on lower-performance computers, such as those with less RAM and without SSD storage. For budget laptops, this adds one more reason to consider Edge over Chrome as your day-to-day web browser.
Microsoft will gradually convert more elements of Edge to WebUI 2.0, instead of doing the entire browser at once, so expect to see even more incremental performance boosts over the months ahead.
