“#How to Save Memory With \u201cSleeping Tabs\u201d in Microsoft Edge”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\"microsoft<\/p>\n

Some people love to keep dozens of tabs open at a time, but those hog up precious system memory. Tell them to close a few and you\u2019ll get a nasty look. If that sounds like you, Microsoft Edge\u2019s \u201cSleeping Tabs\u201d lets you save RAM and your tabs.<\/p>\n

Instead of actually closing tabs, the built-in feature puts them to \u201csleep\u201d by suspending them after they\u2019ve been inactive for a while. Suspending a tab reduces how much memory and CPU it can use in the background. When you open the tab, it wakes up again.<\/p>\n

Sleeping Tabs is available starting with version 88 of Microsoft Edge for Windows<\/a>,\u00a0Mac<\/a>, and\u00a0Linux<\/a>\u00a0and might already be enabled for you by default.<\/p>\n

First, open the Edge web browser, click the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner, then select \u201cSettings.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"open<\/p>\n

Next, go to \u201cSystem\u201d from the sidebar menu.<\/p>\n

\"go<\/p>\n

All you have to do here is toggle the switch on to \u201cSave Resources With Sleeping Tabs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"toggle<\/p>\n

Once you toggle the switch on, a couple more options become available. First, you can decide how long it should take before a tab is put to sleep. Click the drop-down menu and pick a time length. You can choose anywhere between 5 minutes of inactivity and 12 hours of inactivity.<\/p>\n

\"choose<\/p>\n

Lastly, if there are websites that you don\u2019t want to ever be put to sleep, you can exclude them. Tap the \u201cAdd\u201d button.<\/p>\n

\"click<\/p>\n

Type in the URL of the website and click \u201cAdd.\u201d Do this for all the sites you want to whitelist.<\/p>\n

\"enter<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all there is to it. This shouldn\u2019t get in the way of your browsing, but hopefully, you\u2019ll notice improved performance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
