Discarded tabs re-open on startup #273

Open Wrizz opened 2 years ago

Wrizz commented 2 years ago

This extension is very good, but one thing I miss from The Great Suspender is that TGS kept discarded tabs discarded on startup of the browser.

I try to have as little pinned tabs as possible usually, but not being discarded on startup is annoying as hell. Can it be fixed somehow? (firefox btw)

The Great Suspender is that TGS kept discarded tabs discarded on startup of the browser.

TGS uses its built-in session manager. The tabs are not being discarded, but replaced with internal pages. The discarding, though, is a native function.

Have you tried the "Discard all unloaded tabs on browser startup. This method discards almost all inactive tabs" plug-in on the options page?

On Firefox discard all pinned tabs never works

@heywolf15 Firefox discards all none active tabs on startup. The ATD can only discard those that are inactive and not discarded. There is no point in discarding already discarded tabs, so the extension skips those tabs.

@rNeomy thanks for the explanation
