The Great-er Tab Discarder

Remains 'active' when restoring session with lots of tabs so can 'unload' them (like 'sloth' but without the silly popup issue), but would be way better if this extension could automatically open ALL tabs in 'unloaded' state ALL THE TIME, except for 'new tab' & directly opening a new page in the same tab by clicking a link. To rephrase this: The following should always be 'unloaded' & remain unloaded until viewed by the user ~> ~ Any 'page / tab / etc' opened by any user action that is not 'focused' as the 'active' tab (being viewed on screen by the user). ~ Any 'page / tab / etc' or group of them opened from 'sessions'. For example, when opening a session of over 100 tabs (just an example) all of them should be 'backgrounded' & not wasting resources, & ONLY download or do any 'activities' only AFTER they are clicked & viewed by the user. There is an extension for old Firefox called 'Bar Tab' that does this perfectly (for reference =) ~ Any 'page / tab / etc' opened during 'startup' that is not the active (viewable on screen) tab where page contents are shown. All other tabs should always 'start' in 'unloaded' state & never do ANYTHING AT ALL until AFTER the user clicks that tab to view it's 'contents'. As for NOT 'discarding' tabs, there should be an option to NEVER discard ANYTHING AT ALL (except maybe to 'disk' instead of 'RAM') after the user clicks & views the contents of that tab or group of tabs by physically browsing it to see their 'contents' on screen. In other words, when browsing Youtube, with a dozen tabs open, with videos paused at various spots, all the videos should always remain viewable & 'playable' at those same positions when the user clicks back to view the contents of those tabs. This helps speed the browsing 'process' on items the user likes, or everything =) Note: The option to only 'do not discard' on specific domains would be nice, as would the option to always discard certain domains when not viewed, with time delay options varying from minutes or hours all the way down to 'discard this tab whenever I leave this tab to visit another tab'. To rephrase this: The following should be discarded (at user option) ~> ~ The contents of a tab when the user clicks to another tab (either immediately or after user defined delay) ~ The contents of tabs described above only if they are under a certain user defined domain ('discard these domains' list) Note: A 'Safe List' to NEVER discard ANYTHING under certain domains (like for example 'youtube' =) More ideas at 'balkanguy (at) live (dot) com'. iCan pay U 4 various 'extension options' 4 this & other 'browser related' things if that helps =D

Just excellent extension. Anno Niem wrote a review on August 3rd, 2023 saying that feature doesn't work, but that's probably because they had "Lazy loading restored tabs" enabled which interferes with this extension. I noticed huge lag spikes with lazy load enabled and this extention discarding tabs at startup, it was like Vivaldi tried to load all tabs and TGD'er discarding them simultaneously. With "Lazy Loading Restored Tabs" in Vivaldi this feature works almost as expected, although it doesn't correctly understand Vivaldi's tab stacks correctly meaning it does load some tabs.

The key feature I wanted "Discard all tabs at startup" is not working for me. I'm on Vivaldi 6.1, started looking for an alternative to "Tab Suspender" as it made 6.1 crash. Sadly this one isn't it, too bad I like the simplicity of it.

It works. However, there are two other extensions with more features, or/and a different working mechanic what makes it possible to show a screenshot of the suspended tab without loading it (and waiting for it) again.

設置頁雖然是英文但可右鍵翻譯。推薦短時間開啟大量網頁用戶，設定 自動丟棄標籤 時間為20秒，勾選 啟動時丟棄所有選項卡，然後記得 右下保存。我在安裝後設置完，開啟六十多個網頁，完全不卡，而且標籤什麼的都沒有丟失，如果有使用分頁轉清單之類的擴充功能(例如OneTab)，更應該試試 ! !

This is the way my dudes. Trust me. Been using this extension since it was just a github fork of the original Great Discarder with the life-changing "discard all tabs on startup" option added. Beyond stoked to see it now on the chrome web store. Just download it already!
