Question: How can I prevent the Mavim site from being deactivated in the browser?
Answer: see the steps for Edge and Chrome below on how to set this up in these browsers
EDGE:
The sleeping tabs feature causes background tabs to go to sleep by default after a certain amount of inactivity to free up resources for active tabs; new tabs; and other applications on your device.
When Efficiency Mode is enabled and active; inactive background tabs will be put to sleep after 5 minutes or less.
If you want; you can add sites that you never want to sleep in Microsoft Edge to an exclusion list. Adding a site to the exclusion list prevents it from going into sleep mode.
You can enable the feature as follows. Click on the three dots in the top right corner and select Settings:
Click on the left on ‘System and Performance’; here you can adjust the time during which a site goes into sleep mode by selecting a different time from the drop-down list next to ‘Put inactive tabs to seep after the specified amount of time'.
In this screen you can also specify websites that should never be put to sleep. To do this; click on the Add button and then type in the domain name (for example mavimcloud.com).
If the settings are managed by your IT department; your IT could implement it via a register setting; this register setting has been used for the example below:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\SleepingTabsBlockedForUrls]
"1"="[*.]contoso.edu"
"2"="mavim.com"
(In the example below; [*.]mavimcloud.com was added manually).
CHROME:
To avoid a site from being deactivated in chrome; add it to your “Always keep these sites active” exclusion list. Open Chrome; click at the top right on the button with the 3 dots and choose Settings. On the left; click Performance. To the right behind “Always keep these sites active;” click Add.
From here there are 2 options:
1) Add current sites: Select from available sites that are currently open in a tab.
Click the box to the left of the site you want to add and click Add.
To go back; click Cancel.
2) Add sites manually
Enter the web address.
Click Add.
To go back; click Cancel.
Tip: The web address format for the manual site exclusion policy is: [scheme://][.]host[:port][/path][@query].
Here are some examples of how to add sites manually if you want to create an exclusion for:
- Entire domains and subdomains: Exclude the URL scheme. For example; google.com matches and prevents deactivation of subdomains like drive.google.com and calendar.google.com.
- Specific domains; but not any subdomains: Include a dot (.) before the URL host. For example; .google.com won’t match and prevent deactivation of subdomains like www.google.com; drive.google.com; and calendar.google.com.
- Specific subdirectory: Include the URL path. For example; www.google.com/finance matches and prevents deactivation of all Google Finance pages; but won’t prevent deactivation of the www.google.com main pages.
- URL host and query components: Asterisks (*) can be used as wildcards. For example; https://* matches and prevents deactivation of all https sites and youtube.com/watch?v=* matches and prevents deactivation of YouTube videos.
- Wildcards for prefix; suffix; or substring matches of the URL host component aren’t supported. For example; *oogle.com or google.com/* won’t match and prevent deactivation.
If the settings are managed by your IT department; your IT could implement it via a register setting; this register setting has been used for the example below:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\TabDiscardingExceptions]
"1"="contoso.edu"
"2"="mavimcloud.com"
(In the example below; mavim.com was added manually).
