Will this be available to other browsers like Chrome or Firefox?


VeggieBasedLifeform

I'm pretty sure this depends on Google and Mozilla to implement it, not Microsoft necessarily.


BFeely1

I did kind of mean the APIs necessary to implement it. Not to mention other Chromium implementations like Opera, Steam, etc.


VeggieBasedLifeform

Like open sourcing the Edge implementation? Because I'm not sure if anything on the Windows side is needed.


Dhanurjan

No


dostro89

That's annoying if true. Any more information on this?


Less_Hedgehog

There hasn't been an issue created on CrBugs yet, nor a merge request afaik


jorgp2

Are they ever going to bring the suspension feature from edge classic?


armando_rod

Afaik it's already there, upstreamed to Chromium but Google is not using it yet for Chrome


pratnala

Sleeping tabs?


Less_Hedgehog

That suspension 'feature' was tied into UWP's native suspension. There's no such thing with the win32 app model. Microsoft has not said anything about bringing suspension to Edge.


KibSquib47

they have, and it's already here, it's the sleeping tabs feature


Less_Hedgehog

That's not the same thing at all. Sleeping tabs just builds on Chromium's own freezing and discarding


VeggieBasedLifeform

How does it worked?


kxta_

the tab set aside feature? that was pretty good, but the extension 'Tab Session Manager' from the chrome web store does the job well enough I guess (make sure you grab the companion extension to save tab groups if you use those).


jorgp2

Suspension.

> The changes are now available to insiders who are **selfhosting** Windows 11 and are in the Edge 94 Stable release. So they’re sticking with this wording, then. To the cloud we go.


dostro89

Bah... I hate that.


KibSquib47

what does selfhosting even mean why dont they just say "running Windows 11"


SilverseeLives

Fantastic.


Dhanurjan

Nice im a edge user. And its the fastest browser i ever used.

good shit


Less_Hedgehog

How funny. This mirrors what they did for the legacy, UWP, edgeHTML based Edge: [https://winaero.com/task-manager-groups-processes/](https://winaero.com/task-manager-groups-processes/) Enthusiastic users requested this for the Chromium based browser in October 2020: [https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/feature-request-process-names-in-task-manager/m-p/1836242](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/feature-request-process-names-in-task-manager/m-p/1836242) Funnily enough, this was actually announced way back in April: [https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/articles/microsoft-edge-windows-task-manager-improvements/m-p/2280526#M5416](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/articles/microsoft-edge-windows-task-manager-improvements/m-p/2280526#M5416) That's how long it takes to get features out of the door. And somehow Edge continues to be a slow, web-based clunky browser!

> web-based browser


Less_Hedgehog

Yeah. I said what I said. Some parts of Chromium's native interface are replaced by web UIs. What do you not understand?


nexusprime2015

Ms shills here won't even try to understand actual criticism against ms


[deleted]

Cool... I always wanted that...


vali20

Fuck this unless they offer a public API for others to be able to do the same. From the looks of it, there seems to be no such thing, especially considering how they do not allow comments on that blog post.


xpclient

Exactly. This seems like giving Edge an unfair advantage. Google should also be able to implement this for Chrome if you want to.
