- I just use Auto Tab Discard and set it to manually discard only. Meaning, I control when I want to discard a tab.
Does the sleeping tabs feature of Edge have the ability for us to only manual freeze? I don't want automatic freezing since I deal with lots of websites for customers, hosting, important work, etc.

Sleeping tabs watches tab behaviors and only puts tabs to sleep where necessary, for example if you are listening to Spotify web on the background or YouTube video playing in a non-active tab, they don't go to sleep.
HotCakeX Hi and thanks. What about if we're in WordPress, typing a blog post, editing a page, and I leave it for 8 hours, would it freeze it? I can come up with more examples if need be.

By the way, clicking the Reply button here and replying is buggy.
