Microsoft releases beta Edge browser with hard RAM limiter to improve multitasking performance especially during gaming

Microsoft has released a beta version of its Edge browser with a hard RAM limiter. This setting allows users to set the exact amount of RAM that Edge is allowed to use, helping reduce performance problems when multitasking heavily especially during gaming.

So even though they make the OS (and, in fact, it is *their* software, unlike Edge, which is someone else's that they just modify), they choose to fix the issue by adding a non-flexible limit to one piece of software, instead of fixing it within the OS itself by improving how it handles memory allocation. Yup, sounds like a MS move all right.
