Introducing Sleeping Tabs Experiment: Improving Memory Usage in Microsoft Edge

Good suggestions.

I think it would be great to include/update:

- An option in settings that turns on or off the auto reload when the sleeping tab is selected. 

- A quicker way to exclude a tab from sleeping, rather than going to settings and pasting the URL in the exclusion area.

- I haven't had a chance to test if this exists but if a tab is closed, Edge should then select a tab that isn't sleeping instead of one that is. A new tab page should be opened if there is only a sleeping tab left after closing an active tab.

My current feelings:

- I do feel that changing the Favicon isn't necessary as the greyed out tabs are sufficient.

- Overall, I noticed an immediate rapid response of the browser when I enabled this and stopped using The Great Suspender extension.

I look forward to seeing how this evolves 😄
