MicrosoftIntroducing Sleeping Tabs Experiment: Improving Memory Usage in Microsoft Edge
Note: We are in the process of deploying this feature, so it may be a little while before you see it in your respective channel and build.
To improve memory and CPU utilization of the browser, ...
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.
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.
