If you use a modern browser, you might have a number of browser extensions installed. While they can be very helpful for things like detecting shopping discounts or remote watching videos with friends, sometimes these extensions can adversely affect the performance of your browser and, indeed, your entire PC.

Today, Microsoft announced it is launching a new feature for users of its Edge web browsers. It is called an extension performance detector. This feature will begin rolling out to people who get the Edge Canary 130 release.
Edge will start alerting you about slowdowns if extensions persistently impact your browsing experience. Clicking the alert will reveal more information about your extensions and the impact that each has on page loading speed. We will even give you the opportunity to disable the extension of your choice right there.
