Any info or word on what happened to the selection of "Immediately" for putting tabs to sleep? It has been gone for some time now and not one word on if it is permanently gone, or just being adjusted or going to be added to the current selections list.......

Is there anyone else that used the flag and or choice "Immediately" and find it gone for them as well?

Dennis5mile I'm on Stable 90.0.818.49, and I do see the flag: edge://flags/#edge-sleeping-tabs-immediate-timeout. Note that I have not tried using it, though.

  I'm on Canary, Version 92.0.871.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit). And it is nowhere in this version or the last maybe 14 versions of Canary... Keep in mind that Canary gets updated daily.
