Delay Loading at Browser startup? #271

Closed kmand closed 2 years ago

kmand commented 2 years ago

My apologies in advance, I may not quite understand if this extension can help me. I have a huge number of tabs, about 800. Chrome tries to load them all at startup, and can get into trouble. Is there a way to use the extension, to have no or few actually load until I manually select them? I want to see them in the tab bar, and use tab search to find rarely used ones, without any load that are not manually clicked on.

There is a plug-in on the options page of the extension that can help you:

Discard all unloaded tabs on browser startup. This method discards almost all inactive tabs

I value my not recently opened tabs, I want to be sure that "Discard all unloaded tabs on browser startup" doesn't actually delete them, just doesn't load them until manually clicked on after startup. Is that correct?

Your discarded tabs are safe. The only function that deletes tabs, is the trash plug-in (disabled by default). There is no other method to automatically remove/detect tabs.
