MicrosoftIntroducing 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.
just installed Edge stable version 88.0.705.50
it's not enabled for me but the flag is there to activate it manually
edge://flags/#edge-sleeping-tabs
- I know it was there and it's still there
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.
Rene_Gross When you say "and it worked perfecly.", do you mean without enabling it via FLAGS? Mine works if I enable it via FLAGS. My issue is that I want it to work purely via Group Policy settings, and it is not.
- if it's not enabled by default then you can wait till it becomes available on its own. must be a controlled rollout.
