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.

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.
