Introducing Sleeping Tabs Experiment: Improving Memory Usage in Microsoft Edge
This is a great feature. I would like to know if it will be enabled by default when V88 goes to stable. Also for this feature and others (e.g. startup settings etc..) enterprises need a way to set a recommended setting after installation/launch. For example I want the default to be enabled with 30 minutes and I want the user to be able to disable the setting or change the sleep time per their preference. This is not possible as far as I can tell. We can only enforce it or set recommended setting for browser that has never been launched.

I had the flag in version 87, HotCakeX.

HotCakeX I also installed Edge stable version 88.0.705.50. I used Group Policies to Enable Sleeping Tabs and a 15 minute inactivity rule. I verified it is in the Edge://Policy, but it will NOT trigger unless I enable it via Edge://Flags.
Am I missing something? Users should not have to enable it via Flags if I am managing it via GPOs.

Hello John, have checked this at my company some minutes ago (with the 5 minutes sleeping rule) and it worked perfecly.
Maybe it is, how HotCakeX wrote.
