MicrosoftIntroducing Sleeping Tabs Experiment: Improving Memory Usage in Microsoft Edge
Great features , I would like to add some feedbacks here:
1) Please set ability to enable or disable this feature in general from Settings
2) Ability to set disable or enable this in tabs by right click on them and select and it should show special icon.
3) Show specific icon for paused tabs
Good suggestions.
I think it would be great to include/update:
- An option in settings that turns on or off the auto reload when the sleeping tab is selected.
- A quicker way to exclude a tab from sleeping, rather than going to settings and pasting the URL in the exclusion area.
- I haven't had a chance to test if this exists but if a tab is closed, Edge should then select a tab that isn't sleeping instead of one that is. A new tab page should be opened if there is only a sleeping tab left after closing an active tab.
My current feelings:
- I do feel that changing the Favicon isn't necessary as the greyed out tabs are sufficient.
- Overall, I noticed an immediate rapid response of the browser when I enabled this and stopped using The Great Suspender extension.
I look forward to seeing how this evolves 😄
