sleep tab

Does sleep tab function use this flags as well : edge://flags/#intensive-wake-up-throttling

I ask only to know if i continue to enable it or if it's already in enabled state

For God Sake Microsoft when will you listen an replace "Default by it's ACTUAL states"

  • Hi,
    the flag was removed from Edge canary when it went from version 89 to 90
    (Version 90.0.778.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) to be exact)

    now Canary is Version 90.0.784.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
    and the flag is still not available.

    so i think it's safe to assume that the flag has nothing to do with sleeping tabs.
    i remember posting about it when it first appeared in Edge canary. it was way after sleeping tabs was in Edge.

    https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/new-significant-cpu-and-battery-saving-feature-added-to-edge/m-p/1978160

    that's another sign that the 2 things are not related.

    that flag only stayed in Edge briefly, sleeping tabs is still working fine in Edge canary, without that flag.

    about the enabled/disabled state of flags, please just send more feedbacks through Edge feedback button. every time i ask developers they say if more people request it, they'll implement it..

      i have asked it through feedback already, an i push other to do it, (i have seen many dev have asked it on chromium thread too) but neither Google or Microsoft seem interested in this feature)
