If you are someone who likes to never close tabs and build a collection of pinned ‘read later’ pages, then you must be familiar with the memory load it puts on your PC. Your computer certainly feels slow due to the myriad of tabs all open at the same time. The new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser is set to roll out a solution to address this issue.
First up, you will need to have the Microsoft Edge Canary build installed on your PC – be it Windows 10 or macOS. You can download it right here.
The ‘Sleeping Tabs’ feature is now enabled and you can now choose the time after which an inactive tab should be put to sleep. You can pick right from ’15 minutes of activity’ up to ’12 hours of inactivity’ from the dropdown menu. Edge will also let you exclude certain websites from this rule, as you can see in the screenshot above.
