Very nice extension. Does what I want it to do. Suspend tabs but when restored save their scroll position.

Never had something bad to say about this extension. I've been using it for the past year or so without a single issue. Tabs as expected will go to sleep after I don't use them for god knows how long, I usually have over 80-90 tabs open, and keeps in memory the tabs i frequent. The whitelist works as intended, auto updates are a thing so another point in their favour. Overall happy that I found this addon.

Расширение было лучшим. С двумя последними обновлениями сначала выгружало и закрепленные вкладки, теперь вообще не работает После обновления 0.6.8 снова выгружает закрепленные вкладки

Everything was working nicely until the recent update. The extension simply doesn't work anymore. I hope a fix arrives soon.

Great. Only thing missing is the ability to set how many inactive tabs to leave open. Surprised that feature isn't there as this plugin has so many other features.

Es una de mis extensiones imprescindibles, la función de suspender automáticamente se carga la página es excelente.

While I'm fairly happy with how this extension functions and saves memory, enabling me to have a lot of tabs open at the same time, there's one thing about it that's driving me around the bend: Even though I have the "Do not discard a tab when form changes are not yet submitted" option checked, it will regularly discard YouTube tabs where I'm working on a comment and just briefly switch to a different tab to look up some bit of information, killing everything I've written so far. It's extremely frustrating. I can't find any other options that seem like they would fix this behavior.

Please explain what the following does. It is part of Auto Tab discard, but the code looks like it snoops on user input? Why is this needed in the extension? chrome-extension://jhnleheckmknfcgijgkadoemagpecfol/data/inject/watch.js

Tried discarding tabs, it literally just deleted all the tabs except the first one in each window and opened a page saying "All the tabs in this window are discarded! Click anywhere to delete this tab." So it just deleted all of my pages instead of "discarding" them. I'm confused.
