Eleanor_Huynh I have been using The Great Suspender for the last few weeks and i found the ability to suspend tabs really useful and it would be great to see how useful this feature is baked into Edge without the need for an extension.

I have a couple of issues though

-There is no ability to manually put tabs to sleep

-No option to put a tab to sleep after 5 minutes, instead of 15 minutes

-No dedicated icon, so i have to search for the feature to make changes

-No option to put tabs to sleep all at once

I am hoping there will be more changes and features added before this is available on the Stable Channel.
