Does not work with LastPass.. I just can't believe how lame Google is.. what a basic feature: "On startup, only load tabs when selected" I hope they realize what tools they seem to be. sigh
Kinda works... but still takes time loading the base html in each tab. I also noticed that after installing extension, Chrome keeps telling me that I need to "Sign in again" which is really annoying. If this extension actually caused that, then I'd rather stayed logged in versus having this extension installed.
wow, i have been looking for this a while. does exactly what i need it to do. i always leave many tabs open when i close down...and it takes forver to re-load all tabs and content at start-up. this extension only load last focused tab. great! Stops youtube videos from playing unless tab is clicked. icon and title auto load though which is perfect.
Didn't work. Tabs just loaded html only instead of not loading at all.
Doesn't work AT ALL!
I like this extension, it mostly seems to work well. I do get a warning: "This extension failed to redirect a network request to about:blank because another extension (Ghostery) redirected it to data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAYAAAAfFcSJAAAACklEQVR4nGMAAQAABQABDQottAAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==."
Works okay but it doesn't fit with my requirement. I use a lot of tabs from a site which has multiple frames. When I go to these tabs with the extension enabled it causes an entire page refresh rather than reloading the previous state of the tab. This causes all the frames to load their default pages rather than the page I was last on. I found another extension "Lazy Loading" which does reload these tabs correctly. However, this extension has an issue using the default Chrome close button. Maybe the two devs can get together and build a better extension by collaborating.

Good extension, but it still renders tabs if it can find some of the tab content in the browser cache. Would be better for memory usage and cpu/gpu usage if Lazy Tabs simply blocked all rendering on a tab until it is viewed. This could also be optional, f course.
Funciona! Es lo que le faltaba a Chrome para parecerse un poco más a Firefox. Con ésta extension logré evitar que se carguen todas las pestañas al mismo tiempo cuando abre el navegador.
Working fine for me. Didn't have to do anything but restart Chrome. It's low maintenance, just runs quietly in the background. I read the recent reviews here and thought it wouldn't do the job, so I went and installed "Magic Actions for YouTube™" - which is nice and has some useful tweaks in it - but I found it was taking too long to load all the tabs at start-up. So I went back to this, and... all I wanted it to do was to stop the youtube video from automatically playing when I started Chrome, and it's doing that very nicely. When I go back to the video tab, it does start playing, but once I stop it, it doesn't start up again during the session until I tell it to. Thx. (Mac OS 10.6.8)
