Microsoft Boosts Edge Performance with WebUI 2.0 Framework Update
Microsoft has rolled out a significant performance update for Microsoft Edge on Windows 11, incorporating the WebUI 2.0 framework, which brings notable speed improvements to the browser. According to reports from Windows Latest, the update reduces loading times for key elements of the browser’s interface, leading to a smoother and faster browsing experience.
For example, the Browser Essentials section now loads 42% faster, and the Favorites bar opens 40% faster than it did previously. These speed improvements are especially noticeable on lower-performance devices, such as those with limited RAM or lacking an SSD. This update adds further appeal to Edge as a more efficient choice for budget laptops, providing an advantage over Google Chrome in terms of responsiveness and performance.
Microsoft plans to gradually integrate more elements of the browser with the WebUI 2.0 framework, meaning users can expect continued incremental improvements to Edge’s overall performance over time.
