MicrosoftIntroducing Sleeping Tabs Experiment: Improving Memory Usage in Microsoft Edge
I personally don't like the feature. I would like to reduce consumption, that's a wonderful thing because I usually have a lot of tabs open. But when I open a tab again. It seems to reload. Not sure whether it has to do with this feature or not but I assume.
This is very annoying if you are forced to work with online programs, e.g. writing documentation, etc. Then you must move to another tab, or program to test, verifiy, read something and want to go back to where you left off. But suddenly the page reloads, deleting your last couple of sentences.
And no, it's not that I should have saved, it is a paragraph, and honestly, who saves after each sentence they write?!
Would be nice if the feature just opened the last state the page had, without reload. If I want to reload, I click reload. But don't force the tab to do it. If this is part of the feature, well then I assume, I have do deactivate it because i don't like it, or maybe the exceptions are sufficient.
simonschoenig let's see if I understand you correctly: When you click on the tab up in the toolbar, it automatically re-loads the tab? If that is what you are saying, I agree, that is somewhat annoying. The tab suspender for FF does not re-load the tab when you click on it up in the toolbar, but it waits until you actually click somewhere on the page itself. That same feature would be nice for Edge sleeping tabs.
Well Simon seems like you r quick to speak without introspecting.
The site you wish to exclude from going to sleep can be added in settings. Just search 'sleeping' and you will find what i mean.
sleeping tab in it self is meant to reload as when it is put to sleep the site data is removed from your RAM and only reloading can let you open the site. If you want to know why this happens, it is because the promised "performance improvement" cannot happen without reducing the load of the RAM.
Next time properly read the article you are commenting on.
- Totally agree. But i am afraid it seems that microsoft dont read this blog and it is a totally waste to say it here. I am really frustrated about microsoft have posted this blog and have people respond but then microsoft dont care to read it and do any of the improvements recommended by us. It is easy to understand it takes 20 year to improve something at microsoft.
