Introducing Sleeping Tabs Experiment: Improving Memory Usage in Microsoft Edge
Please give us option to protect our tabs from discarding in the same way as we now have the option to protect our tabs from sleeping trough the setting "Never put these sites to sleep". I strongly need to list my tabs running on localhost to never be discarded. Please introduce a new setting to "Never DISCARD these sites". It will bring back the browser to be trustworthy for 24/7 monitoring even if we using web browser for alarm monitioring and want to read the news when there is no alarms sounding.
Please put this request on the most urgent todo list.

define discarding.
the only feature that temporarily puts tabs to sleep is sleeping tabs in Edge, without it, tabs work forever as long as your computer is on.

see my previous posts if you dont understand. Your answer is absolutely wrong!. I made this picture to explain it to you "with a spoon". There you have the proof!. If you still dont get it then please dont bother to reply to my posts. It is unbelieveable that someone ever came up with the idea of saving resources by killing important tabs the user need to run 24/7 365 days a year!
The sleeping tabs is a great improvement with the possibillity to prevent tabs from sleeping and i love to put all my tabs to sleep immediately. But the crazy unloading by urgent discard is the worst nightmare ever in my 25 years of using computers making my computer extremly unreliable! So it need to be fixed urgent at high priority now that i have explained why!
Does it help to post anything in this thread? Does the people in charge of Edge development ever read this thread?

how often do your tabs get discarded automatically? every how many hours/days etc?
does it still happen when you completely turn off sleeping tabs?
