More Edge features get a performance boost – Microsoft Edge Blog
February 20, 2025
Starting with Microsoft Edge 132, many of the browser’s most important features, such as Downloads, Drop, History, and the inPrivate new tab experience are now a lot faster.In fact, no less than 14 different areas of the user interface throughout the browser are now 40% faster than before, on average.
(This includes Favorites and Browser Essentials, which we had already mentioned in our earlier blog post: An even faster Microsoft Edge.)
These improvements are all made possible thanks to our effort to migrate the browser UI to WebUI 2.0, our markup-first architecture that minimizes the size of our code bundles, and the amount of JavaScript code that runs during the initialization of the UI.

Here they talk about recent improvements.
