Beta channel and Stable channel now have the same exact versions.
Beta will soon go to ver.89.
I believe the change log in Microsoft docs is correct.
proof is that you don't have sleeping tabs in Edge stable but I do have it on my Edge stable, without turning on any flags.

Thanks for your communication, as always!

I did respond back mentioning password monitor and sleeping tabs, gonna wait for another reply.
