Works great! And fully customizable.
I like to report a conflict with another extension, which causes some settings of Auto Tab Discard to be overruled. Installing the Tab Activate extension (which opens a new tab immediately instead of in the background) will cause Discard Pinned Tabs at Startup and Discard Unpinned Tabs at Startup to break; all tabs will load at startup regardless of the aforementioned settings and overwhelm the cpu. Disabling Tab Activate will resolve this problem. I will also report this to the developer of Activate Tab. Tab Activate: chrome://extensions/?id=jlmadbnpnnolpaljadgakjilggigioaj
very good! Many options :) Missing is the option how to open links in background tabs.
Un verdadero ahorro de recursos, a diferencia de la clásica suspensión de Chromium... ❤
Why does it discard a PINNED TAB, when I specifically set the option not to? Quite useful otherwise
0.6.7.1 does not seem to be working anymore for me (Chrome), it was working good up to recently if I remember correctly.
I want so much to love this extension. And I've given it a good go (maybe had about two years?) but every so often it just stops listening to the settings I have in the options setup. Whitelisted domains get discarded. Pages with open forms get discarded. And here lately it seems as soon as I move to a different tab, the tab I was just on previously, like just seconds later gets discarded right away. I have tried futzing with the options. I have tried removing it and re-installing it (and that seems to usually work temporarily ... until it doesn't). I shouldn't have this much trouble with an extension. So I'm now on the hunt for a replacement - after too many repeatedly lost productivity caused by this extension.
Version 0.6.7.1 works very well, especially with Vivaldi. Works much better than previous versions. I hope the developers see this, and don't break it in future releases. Would like to see an option to immediately discard a tab as soon as it loses focus, as I have many (over 600) tabs usually open and have to manually discard a tab when I am done with it to keep memory usage low.
This App does what it claims, efficiently and effectively. You can even save your settings, import and export them. My previous preference for Chrome cookie management was Vanilla Cookie Manager, which doesn't exist anymore. I needed a replacement. This is roughly equivalent, with a few additional check boxes in the settings that could have been explained a little better. if you're a technical professional you should be fine.
top extension i use it for years. BUT it discards pin tabs, and it shouldn't.
