Microsoft Edge web browser comes with an interesting set of features and the company keeps adding new ones. In the latest version of the browser (version 88), the company is introducing a new feature.
The feature, which is named “sleeping tabs” gives some relief after the browser is burdened with a few dozen browser tabs. When enabled, the feature can keep inactive tabs from consuming system resources.
With less number of active tabs, the system consumes lower power and lesser battery juice. The feature should enable your computer to run faster when browsing the web.
