How to Enable Passive Tab Mode in Microsoft Edge

Microsoft Edge is currently one of the most popular web browsers by computer users recently, which is of course competing with the previously popular web browser, Google Chrome. This application made by Microsoft was formerly called Internet Explorer, where at that time this browser was considered very slow and had a poor user interface. So finally a new application emerged as a replacement for Internet Explorer, namely Microsoft Edge.

At first glance, this application has a look that is almost similar to Google Chrome. However, based on the author's observations, there is one advantage that Microsoft Edge has when compared to Google Chrome, namely the use of lower device memory capacity.

Basically, when we run/open an application, of course, it will use the available RAM memory capacity. The greater the capacity used will affect the level of processing speed of your computer's overall performance.

Enabling Passive Tab Mode In Microsoft Edge

As for recently. Microsoft Edge adds a new feature, namely the passive tab feature. The existence of this feature allows the application to automatically and temporarily disable browser tabs that have not been used/opened for some time.

The goal in addition to reducing the capacity of running RAM usage can also reduce battery power usage (if you use a laptop device). As for this tutorial, we will teach you how to enable passive tab mode in the Microsoft Edge browser.

Although very simple, this feature has a function that is quite influential on the performance of your computer or laptop device. One of them is that it can save power usage on laptop devices.

Tutorial

Open the Microsoft Edge application on your device. After appearing on the main page, select the “three dots” symbol located at the top right
Next, select the Settings menu. Then on the Settings menu tab, select the "System" menu
On the system menu tab, select the “resource-saving” setting. At this point turn on the setting in the “Power saving with passive tab” menu. In addition, you can also set the time it takes before the browser tab becomes inactive (for example the browser tab will be inactive if it is not opened or accessed for 30 minutes)
As for the results, can be seen in the following figure ( tab which shows dark-colored tabs that are disabled for a while)

Conclusion

Thus this tutorial, in addition to this feature is very suitable for those of you who have a laptop device with a RAM memory capacity that is not too large.
