The Microsoft team has released many updates to Edge in recent months, with features that seek to improve the user experience.
However, the user may not want to have those options enabled in Edge, and may want to prioritize browser efficiency over additional features that they use in their daily browsing. In that case, Microsoft is preparing a new option to give users more control.
You will be able to disable “additional features” in Microsoft Edge
If we take a look at the Microsoft Edge settings, we find a range of options that cover different sections. Most of these are features that allow you to customize the way you want your web browser to work.
However, some of them may not interest us, or have no real benefit in the tasks we perform at Edge. The Microsoft team is considering this situation, and we may soon see a new option in the web browser that allows us to disable features that we do not use and that affect the effectiveness of Edge.
As can be seen in the tweet he shares leopeva64, a new setting will be added that will allow us to disable optional features. When we do this, the disabled features will still be available, but some plug-in will need to be downloaded to the web browser to re-enable them.
Microsoft does not mention what features fall under this “optional” list. They may be identified in the settings, so that the user knows that they can do without a certain function, and thus contribute to the speed of the web browser.
At the moment, this new dynamic is not available in the stable version of Microsoft Edge, since it is still in tests within the Canary version. So we will have to wait to see how this new system proposed by Microsoft works so that Edge works faster and improves the user experience.
