Release discarding of the tree (Tree Style Tab) #378

Open protist opened 6 months ago

protist commented 6 months ago

Firstly, thanks for this great extension! In the past I had to restart Firefox regularly to release RAM, and this extension prevents me from having to do that.

Obviously the payoff is that I need to wait for some tabs to load. However, I also really like the options

which means when I go back to a discarded tab, the adjacent tabs quickly "wake up", allowing me to browse them more rapidly.

I also use Tree Style Tab. I wondered if it might be possible to have an option to release discarding of the entire tree, when I select a tab within that tree. I tend to have trees grouped by theme, so once I "wake up" one tab, I usually am interested in browsing other tabs within that same tree.

(On a related note, it might also be useful to have options specifying the number of adjacent tabs to release, e.g. release discarding of the next three tabs, etc.)

Thanks again!
