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.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Microsoft-releases-beta-Edge-browser-with-hard-RAM-limiter-to-improve-multitasking-performance-especially-during-gaming.833837.0.html
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.
