[Feature request] Open in background unloaded #427

Open megamorphg opened 2 years ago

megamorphg commented 2 years ago

Sometimes need to open a lot of tabs (dozens) at once... it would be great to be able to have an alternative shortcut to send them to the background unloaded.

Until it's proposed by SLP3 it might be possible to use another add-on to obtain the requested behavior. See LoadTabOnSelect old version on GitHub Last version add-on page or Load Background Tabs Lazily

The problem with LoadTabOnSelect is that it makes it the default for all background tabs opened. (It also doesn't work because the tab still seems to try to load the HTML.) I do not want that because there are times where I do want it to load in the background.

Just tabs opened with SnapLinksPlus with a specific shortcut I would like it to open.
