Enhancing Extension Performance for a Seamless User Experience

[RanadhirMSFT]

Hello,

As we continue to innovate and enhance our browser capabilities, we want to take a moment to emphasize the critical importance of performance in the development of browser extensions.

Performance is not just a technical specification; it’s the backbone of user satisfaction and engagement. Browser extensions, while powerful and versatile, can impact the browser’s performance, affecting everything from page load times to overall system efficiency.

Our internal findings underscore the real-world impact of extensions on browser performance. It’s imperative that we, as developers, are mindful of this impact and strive to optimize our extensions for peak performance. We have published a blog Taking control of your browser performance when using extensions with Microsoft Edge that can help you to optimize your extension for better performance.

Subsequently, we plan to also help users understand the impact of multiple extensions on browser performance by showing up a similar experience in browser essentials.

Let’s work together to continue to maintain the high standards that our users have come to expect from us. Thank you for your continued efforts and contributions to our browser’s ecosystem.

Best regards,
Team Microsoft
