Ok, what happen? The "immediately" option is no longer available, and the flags are gone as of Canary, Version 91.0.850.0 (Official build) (64-bit). Hmm, they took the word "Canary" out of the version label. Please add this as one of the selections in your pull-down menu.

Any news on when this will be added back in, or even if it will be an option any longer? Really miss this option "Immediately". Can we get this added to the selections list of pickable times? For me, and I can only speak for myself, 5 minutes is way to long for tabs to go to sleep. When your working in a lot of open tabs and using a lot of system resources getting tabs to sleep and freeing up those resources is very important for a smooth work flow.

Thanks
