Discussion - Allow users to put individual tabs to sleep
Hi Insiders, thanks so much for your feedback on the sleeping tabs experience in the new Microsoft Edge. From reading your comments, it is clear that many of you would like an easy way to put individ...
Hey Insiders! The team has added an option to the inactive tabs timer to put inactive tabs to sleep almost immediately. You can find it in settings in the latest Canary build!
Note that as Missy's post explains, some tabs won't be put to sleep based on heuristics.
Let us know what you think after you spend some time with this one!
- This is just as good as Immediately. Though I have to wonder why you cannot just add immediately to the list. But, Thanks for this addition.
Dennis5mile- That's actually a really good question, and I'm not just saying that because I have a really good answer! This is the shortest timer we're comfortable with offering to avoid site compatibility issues. The team understands that folks really want an immediate timer and got as close to that as they could without creating other issues that would make the setting less desirable or require a lot of exceptions!
I am curious though, when this was first offered for canary, I used "immediately all the time and I found no trouble at all as I had reported on the article page that was started for it Sleeping tabs blog . So I am curious as to what issues happened with the immediately being set?
