MissyQ I too would like the option to manually put tabs to sleep. The 30 second timer is helpful but I find it insufficient. Moving between tabs and groups with any alacrity means many might stay awake and use resources even after they are no longer needed. Having the option to quickly right click and select put to sleep would be great. Further - and I understand that some sites cannot be put to sleep - I feel that sometimes, particularly with tab groups, the sleep function does not take effect when it should. I know this issue was addressed in November, but as there is no existing functionality to "Allow users to put individual tabs to sleep," I feel it needs to be addressed further.
Thank you
