Like David said, I don't think this extension is working as it should right nów. With Chrome 126 it doesn't seem to auto discard anything, it works if I manually discard tabs tho'. When it works, it's great... so I give this 5 stars and hope that the developer can fix the issue.

Until recently, I would have given this a five-star review, as it greatly reduced the Chrome memory footprint. I typically have about 250 tabs open, which would soon become unmanageable. However, in the last few weeks, it no longer seems to work except when I close and reopen Chrome. Otherwise, tabs stay open indefinitely, even when I tell it to close all tabs. I assume there's been a change in Chrome that has interfered with it and hope the developer fixes it soon!

I'm using 2 profiles in Chrome. It would only work in one profile even if the other has it. Working on 2 profiles simultaneously sometimes works but most of the time it doesn't

AMAZING and thank you. What a huge difference. I set my settings to disable every 3 mins with two tabs are exceeded. So everytime I open a 3rd tab or more the other tabs are frozen.

I have assigned the behavior setting when left clicking on the toolbar to discarding the tab, but it does not work and I am discarding it when I right click. I would like to see a correction.

I love this extension, and it's incredibly helpful, since I have 100+ tabs open most of the time. But recently it's not obeying the on-click option I've set, which is to just discard the active tab. Instead I have to right-click and select "discard tab" from that. I'm also going to contact the dev about this but I figured I'd mention it here as well. Overall it's a fantastic extension, and has worked flawlessly up to this point!

Very helpful extension that has restored speed to my excessive tab-burdened browsing routine. However, one tiny yet huge suggestion: why not change the name to Tab Pause, Tab Park, Tab Time-Out, Tab Hiatus, Tab Breather, Tab Back Burner, Tab Respite, Tab Hold or something like that? Discard sounds like you're getting rid of the tab, as in deleting it forever. It's a bit confusing...
