Edit: I'm getting really frustrated with this addon as it doesn't seem to follow some of the rules for discarding. I find it discarding tabs where I have forms that I've filled out but haven't submitted, and it will often instantly discard tabs when I leave the page. I'm getting pretty close to ditching it. --- OP: Just installed and it seems to work as advertised. Currently on work computer so I don't have any intensive tabs open to try it with, but the ones I discarded did disappear from the Chrome Task Manager. The only thing I'm not seeing is a way to have discard options in tab right-click context menus. I would like to see that so I don't have to remember the hotkey or use the extension button to discard tabs.

It's a great extension and exactly what I was looking for after The Great Suspender got removed. I just wish it had one more feature. Instead of automatically activating a particular tab once you switch to it, I would rather prefer to click on it to activate it (as it used to be on Great Suspender). Really wish, you would implement it. In any case, great job!!

✅ Open source. ✅ Mas ligera en espacio/recursos que The great suspender y Marvelous. ✅ Ligera : Menos de un 1MB de espacio instalada. ✅ Ligera en recursos : entre 25-30MB de RAM. ✅ Gran variedad de opciones predeterminada y condicionantes en un solo lugar. ✅ Capacidad para configurar en Batch las opciones. ✅ Capacidad para exportar la configuración a un archivo local. ✅ Traducido al español. ✅ Tema oscuro en el Fondo de la sección de opciones. ❌Opción de refrescar desde la pagina suspendida (y no refrescarla al acceder)

The extension keeps discarding the active tab I am working on, sometimes even WHILST scrolling. I think they get "discarding" the wrong way
