Seems to be becoming native to many browsers. Any plans for it in Brave?
Not sure entirely true, unused tabs will sleep automatically after a certain period of time. Which saves cpu/ram resources, when a tab isnāt in used @mk7z
@fanboynz Thanks but not sure what you mean.
Tabs in Brave āsleep automaticallyā without any extension? I havenāt seen that happen.

Also, if that were the case (browsers automatically suspend idle tabs) why would people use ātab suspenderā extensions?
Curious about this as well. There seem to be flags in Chrome for tab freezing? And Edge reported a 30%+ reduction in memory usage and 37% less battery usage (https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2020/12/09/sleeping-tabs-beta-performance/). Would be nice to see this in Brave.
Discarding tabs in Chrome also carrys over to Brave brave://discards/ If Edge makes changes to upstream chromium code, weāll be able to take advantage of it also.
@fanboynz Is there a āhow toā page that explains how the non-tech user can interpret/make use of that data?
Also, if by ādiscardā youāre referring to a native āsuspendā function in Brave, Iāve found that webpages that havenāt seen recent use but were whitelisted by a ātab suspenderā extension (presumably handing them over to Braveās ādiscardā function) usually take considerably longer to come back to life than with suspended webpages for which the extension is active.
IOW, Braveās ārestore from discardā function appears to be considerably slower.
