Could you add an option to not load anything from the URL, not start any request, just load the favicon if its cached on chrome and the tille from cache too, if possible? Then it would be perfect! Thx

I am guessing Yzurmir Yzurmir has the "Stop Autoplay in Background Tabs for Youtube" extension installed because this extension did not stop the YouTube videos from playing on startup. Perhaps this extension broke after a Chrome update? (It seems to have worked back in 2012 according to Michael Marner.)

Chrome still loads all my saved tabs. Even if it doesn't load them completely as some people suggested, the hit on the CPU is quite obvious. In comparison, Firefox pulls up >40 tabs without a hitch. Disappointed.

It works. It may seem like it's loading all tabs on start-up, but apparently it only loads some basic info or something. Anyway, it won't load the whole site. You can check by opening a Youtube video, then restarting the browser. The video won't play unless you click on its tab.

I couldn't get it to work either. Still loaded all my tabs. I discovered the hibernate feature of Sidewise extension works. In Sidewise options, see Tab Hibernation, check Remember Tabs and Wake Tabs on Click, and then go to Chrome settings and on startup, Open the New Tab page. Sidewise saves your last session, not Chrome itself.
