8Microsoft Edge: Enable Sleeping Tabs to Fix High Memory Usage and Save Battery
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’ll get a nasty look. If that sounds like you, Microsoft Edge’s “Sleeping Tabs” lets you save RAM and your tabs.
Instead of actually closing tabs, the built-in feature puts them to “sleep” by suspending them after they’ve 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.

Web browsers like to use memory and give your computer a good workout if you keep a lot of tabs open on a regular basic. On a laptop or 2-in-1, this can have a negative impact on the battery backup of your device. Fortunately, it looks like Microsoft Edge’s next update will solve that problem by automatically freezing those unused tabs.
On Microsoft Edge, “Sleeping Tabs” is a nifty feature designed to save system resources (such as memory and processor). When you enable the feature, open tabs will enter into a sleep mode after inactivity to free up resources to improve system performance and battery life. The next time you switch to the website, the tab will resume automatically.
