[dba-Tech] Fwd: Frustrating

[Rocky Smolin]

I use bitwarden so no saved passwords on the computer.

I have noticed that Edge will sometimes bloat and I don't see a correlation
between the RAM it's using and the number of tabs open.

MS has pre-selected Balanced Tracking Prevention. Any advice there?
