great! the only thing i would like to have is to change Discarding options in: Discard inactive tabs after x in "seconds" instead of "minutes" because minutes is too long as a time unit and my average is 20 seconds to 40 sec to kill a tab if it is not active. And i cannot do that with the this extenstion even putting [0.33] in the minutes Text Input does not accept it as minutes format. please update it.

Almost 5 star! I recently noticed that Jira Cloud have been hogging up my CPU. So I started using this extension and it has effectively made my laptop 50% more powerful in effect :D ... Ok, thats a little hyped, but YKWIM! The only issue I have is when I enable "Immediately discard the following hostnames when their tab is not active" with Jira URL added to the input. I can't seem to temporarily disable these discards via the menu options "Disable Auto Discards globally for X hours" or "Keep Selected tabs for this Session".

Despues de bastante tiempo instalada , descubri que me provocaba un gran problema , cuando se acumulan muchas pestañas "Dormidas" en unas cuantas ventanas abiertas , acaban bloqueandose casi todas las pestañas al intentar abrirlas , siendo a veces imposible que cargue cualquier pestaña ,, fue anular la extension y dejo de aparecer el problema , quiza fue casualidad , cada cual que piense lo que quiera , pero ya no hay problema alguno de bloqueo de pestañas.

Great extension ty. It might be helpful to have an option to "discard tabs in the collapsed group"

This is excellent. Makes my computer run much cooler and protects from Chrome hogging resources from other applications. I use it conjunction with a tab group/management extension too. Very customisable. Lots of options. highly recommend.
