This extension is a life-saver. Whenever I have multiple tabs running and everything starts to lag, my potato computer comes back to life once I click this extension.

Не загружает фоновые вкладки при старте браузера (только текущую), что сильно ускоряет запуск браузера и потребляемую память. Мгновенно выгружает все вкладки (кроме текущей и закреплённых) освобождая память. Open source 👍🏻

Это что было нужно хрому и мне, при старте не дает грузить все вкладки, по нажатию выгружает остальные, спасибо чувак ты нас всех спас. Остается вопрос со стабильностью но есть сессионбудди если что он все сессии помнит так что нет проблем. Добавить бы настроек, например белый список, кнопку в меню, но это так придирки.Почему я раньше не знал о нем? чувак сделай пару статей о своем расширении на хабре и других ресурсах, пусть люди узнают многим такое нужно. Спасибо.

Eine tolle Erweiterung. Habe sie mal bei mir im Blog genauer beleuchtet: http://orschi.ro/nicht-alle-tabs-beim-start-von-chrome-laden/

It does not work in Chrome Version 70.0.3538.77 (Offizieller Build) (64-Bit). Neither on startup with 32 Tabs, nor does the icon show any response or effect when clicking on it. Still every Tab gets loaded on starting chrome and it takes still the same long time to finally be able to use Chrome. This is what I wanted to prevent and thought this extension would be for. Unfortunaly I can´t say anything about it´s functionality since it doesn´t do anything, nor does it allow me to click on "Settings" in the context-menu. The only thing it seems to do is gathering my browser-history (since it is a dependency to add this extension to chrome). Since I read about this extension on popular computer-magazines´ websites I don´t assume this extension is just a scam, but it almost seems like this so far. I mean it probably collects my browser-history, but doesn´t do anything other at all.

I'm not sure whether to classify this as a bug or a feature request but one HUGE limitation of this extension is that tabs that have not yet loaded a title are saved as blank pages. This means that if you open more than say 5 pages at once, you would have to wait for each page to slowly load one by one before they can be unloaded from ram -or even going one page at a time, you still have to wait for each page to load its title before it can then be discarded, which imo is a needless user interaction. It would be vastly preferable if lazytabs could remember the web addresses of tabs 'in loading queue', or possibly if the unloading mechanism could wait until a title is loaded before unloading each tab. This second option would also help with the use of another extension, tabs outliner, which currently displays no name and not even a web address for tabs that haven't loaded a title. I suppose I could just use tabs outliner for all this, except then I would have to reload the main page and hope that the browser remembers where I'd scrolled to, just to unload pages that I would like to read later. Please consider it, thanks!

I thought it would just make my pages hibernate but it just closed all my tabs, and now I can't get them back, what the hell?
