MicrosoftIntroducing Sleeping Tabs Experiment: Improving Memory Usage in Microsoft Edge
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?
Yes it happens even when disabling the sleeping tabs feature from the flags.
The tabs i depend so much on is freezing at least once every hour, many times after so little as the time i use to write an email in outlook. If you want to reproduce the problem open a lot of tabs and in one of them run at script playing a sound once every 15 minutes. Go to another tab or program and you will discover that the sound will not play anymore after you have left the tab for a while. The solution until now was making sure the tab is in focus at all time, but now after i discovered the toggle to disable Automatic discarding everything works fine even if i leave the tab unfocused for days.
The "never put these sites to sleep" must also ensure they never is unloaded by discarding too to make the function reliable. If i tell Edge they should never be put to sleep it is absolutely horrible that edge unload the site anyway by automatic discard!
The horrible "feature" that makes chrome unreliable for displaying critical web pages.

I agree with you and thanks for explanation,
the exception list in for sleeping tabs should exempt those websites from both sleeping tabs + tab discarding.
i will send feedback for this.
