This article will discuss how to Enable or Disable Efficiency Mode in Microsoft Edge. Efficiency Mode helps to extend the battery life and performance with minimum usage for power and reduction of CPU usage of the device. CPU usage is reduced by making tabs inactive when users do not interact with them.
