<p>Windows 10 users who have upgraded their system to the latest May 2020 Update should have already noticed that the Microsoft Edge browser is running more efficiently now.</p>

<p>In its <a href="https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2020/06/17/improving-memory-usage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">official statement</a>, Microsoft claims that the Edge browser now provides much better browsing experience with up to 27% reduced memory usage. This was achieved through segment heap improvements for Win32 applications. It&#8217;s worth saying that Microsoft Edge&#8217;s memory usage will surely vary across different PCs, but the company expects better user experience with the latest May 2020 update.</p>
<p>This change will be especially beneficial for systems with smaller amounts of RAM installed as that&#8217;s one of the crucial components for a better PC experience. Microsoft obviously wants more Chrome users to try the new Edge and possibly switch to the Edge browser, especially that the Chrome browser is known for being a memory hog.</p>
<p>Microsoft has recently started rolling out its new Edge browser via Windows Update to all Windows 10 and Windows 8/8.1 systems, including unsupported Windows 7. Once the new Edge browser is installed on the system it will completely replace the old Edge.</p>
<p>The upcoming Windows 10 20H2 update that is planned to be released later this year, will be the first Windows 10 version released with the new Microsoft Edge browser.</p>
