Microsoft has made a significant stride in enhancing its Edge browser for Windows 11 by integrating the updated WebUI 2.0 framework. This development, as reported by Windows Latest, promises to elevate the overall performance of the browser.
Performance Enhancements
The introduction of the WebUI 2.0 framework brings about a notable reduction in loading times for various user interface elements. Users can now expect a more fluid and responsive browsing experience. For instance, the “Browser Essentials” feature now loads an impressive 42 percent faster, while the “Favorites” bar opens 40 percent quicker than its previous iteration.
These enhancements are particularly advantageous for users operating on lower-performance computers, including those with limited RAM and without SSD storage. For budget laptop users, this improvement presents a compelling reason to choose Edge over Chrome as their primary web browser.
Microsoft’s approach to this update involves a gradual transition, with plans to convert additional elements of Edge to the WebUI 2.0 framework over time. This means users can look forward to a series of incremental performance boosts in the months to come.
