- Always: Limits Edge’s RAM usage regardless of whether you are gaming or not
- Close Settings
To view Edge’s RAM usage, hover over or click the ‘Browser baseline’ icon in the toolbar at the top right (heart icon). Here, you will see how much RAM Edge uses, which is next to the RAM usage. You will also see a dotted line indicating how much RAM the browser can use and how much RAM is available on the system.
