Edge Browser in Desktop to Get Sleeping Tabs Feature
Though Google’s Chrome is maintaining its market leadership, Microsoft’s Edge is fairly standing in the top five places. While it’s a long way for Edge to beat Chrome, Microsoft is making everything to attract users to its native browser. A latest known feature in accordance with this pursuit is the trailing of a Sleeping Tabs support. Found by ghacks.net, this can be seen introduced in the Edge Canary version, which is a pre-beta phased mostly used by developers to check flaws and features in the browser before being rolled out to beta or final release. This reveals the new Sleeping Tab feature, which freezes the background inactive tab to save up system resources. The feature is clever enough to detect the site characteristics, to determine whether it has to be kept for sleeping or not. For example, tabs playing background audio/video or other background tasks will not be put to sleep. The sleeping tabs will be colored grey to distinguish them apart and can be reactivated by clicking on them. The feature will also let users customize working. Here’s how; Enable the feature by typing “edge://flags” in the browser’s search bar. Search “sleep“, which will return three flags.
