Check for newer versions of stored pages ...
- I expect that behavior. Edge insider doesn't currently have a full documentation.
I think the reason why we don't see it in the new browsers is that most often we have something important in the tabs open and refreshing the page would disrupt that activity.
but that doesn't mean you can't do it via extensions.

Can you advise if this will apply to the official release of Edge Chromium? I can't seem to find any info on it.

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tab-reloader-page-auto-re/dejobinhdiimklegodgbmbifijpppopn?hl=enThanks. I suppose I've just got to get used to looking for third-party add-ons to do stuff that I expect the browser to be able to do unaided. It's a new world for me.
