Summary

Sleep unused tabs to save memory and boost performance. This is done manually if wanted. It’s not needed with new browser features that do this automatically. However, this gives power users control over when to discard a tab they don’t plan to use any time soon. Right click on any page to discard it.

Safety
Risk impact

Discard Tab is safe to use. It does not request any sensitive permissions.
