Cleaning up Edge on Windows

Whatever browser you use, just don't be Edging.

If you're still on the Windows plantation, let's atleast make you comfortable. Even when Microsoft Edge is closed, it still runs and takes up memory. Let's clean this up.

Open up Edge, then click the three dots in the top right of the window.

Click settings, which should be the third option from the bottom.

Then click the three bars at the top left of the window, and click "System and performance".

Then turn off "Startup boost", "Continue running background extensions and apps when Microsoft Edge is closed", and "Use hardware acceleration when available". Then close edge and you're good.
