In Chrome Canary the favicon for inactive tabs that are discarded now fades to let the user know that the tab has been discarded, just like in Edge:

The Sleeping Tabs concept is a crock of horse

! In Edge it is, anyway!
Just as much resources being used whether sleeping or not, a loaded tab is a loaded tab.
Plenty of services working somewhere in the mix, not to mention tabs that engage a WebLock.

If you need to discard a tab, you have to do it manually..., or, just close it!

Even though not on a Laptop, you can enable Battery Saving mode from the Discards page...

In Chrome it will soon be possible to block all extensions at the same time on a specific site, and the extensions icon (in the toolbar) will show a diagonal line when the toggle is turned off, this change in the icon is already available in Chrome Canary:

It's a similar feature to Edge's 'Pause Extensions', but in Edge the extensions icon shows a white badge when all extensions are paused:

The horizontal padding of the menus has been significantly increased in the latest Chrome Canary build:

Here's a comparison between the current menus in Chrome Stable and the menus in Chrome Canary:

Google has also added colors to menu dividers:

Those menus are looking more and more like Edge’s (padding-wise).

Chrome looks kinda weird now on W11..., with the double set of rounded corners...

(Actually, the inner rounded corner looks weird anywhere!)

It looks unfinished!
