  • OSX reloads tabs when switching Spaces with Auto Tab Discard
    You might want to ask on developer of the addon: https://add0n.com/tab-discard.html. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Browser Tab Hoarding: How do you organize/archive your research? Trying to reach Tab Zero.
    Not to be an enabler or anything, but have you tried Auto Tab Discard? Only active tabs will be loaded, so you can have thousands upon thousands of tabs without any impact on memory usage or performance. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Whist, a new cloud-hybrid browser
    I use Auto Tab Discard [0], which offloads tabs after a period of time. They still show as normal tabs (with a "ZZZ" icon to indicate it's been discarded), and the website reloads when I switch to them. When I open the browser after closing it, the session is restored with all but the current tab offloaded so it opens quickly and using very little resources. My current session has tens of tabs, only a handful of... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
  • Is there any addon that suspends/ hibernates tabs and restores them back when required like in Chromium based browsers there's "the great suspender" or "tiny suspender" and keeps a copy of tabs suspended as backup file on device?

  • Alternative to Session Manager
    Also Tab Manager Plus for Chrome as it handles large volumes of tabs better than anything else I've found but again it hasn't been updated since 2021 either. Source: 11 months ago
  • Instead of Vertical Tabs, integrate Tab Manager Plus
    To me, Tab Manager Plus is as important as my adblocker and password manager when setting up a new browser. No other tab manager I've used condenses tabs as much as it. Sadly it's abandonware, but the github is here. That plus a built-in domain extractor, tab sorter, and tab counter for current window tabs, as well as total tabs, would be killer. Vertical tabs seem to move one bit of real estate to another. Not... Source: 11 months ago
  • I am building a Safari Web Extension (not an app extension) to switch tabs efficiently. Something I really wanted to exist!
    I've used a bunch of tab managers of safari, and all that has not satisfied me. So expect you :) Using tab manager plus on chromium browsers. Check it. Source: over 1 year ago
