Discard inactive tabs when number of inactive tabs checks only current window. #255

Took me forever to figure out why this extension was improperly working for me.

It seems that Auto Tab Discard checks active or inactive tabs on a per window basis, rather than globally.

rNeomy commented 2 years ago

No, not really! It just checks every 10 minutes (by default) and discards tabs that have been active for more than 10 minutes.

What's the best way to debug why a tab isn't getting closed? I do not see a tool tip show up.

One weird thing - the number of tabs listed as discardable on startup is wildly different than the number of tabs I have open. "'startup plug-in' 'number of tabs that can be discarded on startup' 101 I have 142 tabs currently open.

I Increased the max number of tabs to check at a single time.

Go to the options page and enable logging. Then open the background page of the extension.

Open "chrome://extensions" in a browser tab and turn the developer mode on. Click on the inspect button for this extension and switch to the console tab.

If you could find a way to reproduce the issue, please provide steps here.

@AJolly : can you reproduce with a current version, and if so, which browser do you use?
