Microsoft on Thursday introduced new features for its Edge browser to make online shopping for the holidays easier and more secure.
How to Enable or Disable Efficiency Mode in Microsoft Edge
One of the biggest features is a new efficiency mode. The feature works by putting itself into efficiency mode when it senses that your device’s battery is running low. When in efficiency mode, it reduces the usage of your system resources, such as CPU and RAM, giving you longer battery life.
Another new feature in Edge is geared toward the upcoming holiday season. The Edge browser’s new price tracking will alert you if an item you recently viewed has changed in price, with all the last-minute holiday sales happening this time of year.
The price tracking feature works with other built-in Edge tools like cross-site price comparison and price history. Microsoft said the price comparison and history features are now available in the Microsoft Edge mobile app on Android.
