Sleeping tabs should offer option to not sleep pinned tabs
Auto Tab Discard (and other similar extensions) have a few options I find pretty important.
- Option to not sleep pinned tabs
- Option to not sleep tabs with unsaved form data (maybe the sleep feature already does this by default, I'm not sure)
- Option to not sleep tabs media playing (maybe the sleep feature already does this by default, I'm not sure)

keeganwitt The 3rd point is already taken into consideration by Edge: Sleeping Tabs FAQ - Microsoft Tech Community
Rohit YadavAh, cool. I hadn't seen that. Thanks for sharing.
- These are valid points, i also find them useful,
though I expect them to be ignored when tabs are in a tab group and we shrink the tab group, because that's how we force tabs in a tab group to go to sleep, regardless of what they are doing.

but naturally I haven't seen any of my tabs playing something to go to sleep, like YouTube tabs, never had that problem. I'm not sure how Edge can detect unsaved form data in a page, like constantly scan pages etc.
but you can send it as suggestion using feedback button on Edge so it get registeredHotCakeXGood idea. I've sent this via feedback.
