Situatie
On Microsoft Edge, the Sleeping Tabs is a feature designed to reduce memory, processor, and other resources usage. When you enable the feature, open tabs will go into a sleep mode after some time of inactivity to free up resources to improve performance and battery life. The next time you switch to the website, the tab will resume automatically.
