you're welcome,
great suspender was identified as malware and removed from extension stores.
sleeping tabs in Edge is better than that, yes.
you can't solve it, it's the website that has that behavior. like I said, Edge sleeping tabs is smart not to break website functionality.
thanks , there is extension "marvelous suspender" alternative for TGS that it says exactly same but without malware, and some youtube or twitter pages go to sleep but some pages don't , and i can't find why because no audio or video isn't playing in those pages

well you can ask that extension's developer since your problem is related to it.
after the recent incidents, I personally don't trust 3rd party extensions so much.

HotCakeX yes that's right , do you know why some youtube or twitter pages go to sleep but some pages don't?

edge://discards/ should tell you why,
i assume it's because of the content visible in each tab
