Auto Tab Discard (suspend)

Vat the fuke is this, keeps closing down my work then i have to start over, closes my youtube then I have more ads to watch and I have to spend like 5 min just to find where I left off

`Discard all other tabs` button no longer works unfortunately..

Probably I didn't understand its functionality, but it's not working and the menu it has it quite counter-intuitive.

Can someone PLEASE tell me if this is working. Two people (could be fake reviews) say it's working, while others on another site says the dev disappeared and it doesn't work. The reviews are terrible & I believe those ones because it's taking up a lot of memory & huge fluxes of good, then bad, in CPU. None of the tab suspender extensions are working anymore because of goolag rolling out manifest 3. I now have to do hours of work to wake up every tap & then remove the extension. sigh That's with Tab suspender. It's killing my HD. Just terrible. Thanks

Okay. I have edited this review several times now. This extension WOULD be good... if it worked consistently. Every time I shut off my computer the Options menu magically does this very fun thing where it erases everything in there and stops working entirely! How goofy! And utterly rage inducing! Oh how fun it is that when this thing works it's the best one available so you're pretty much screwed on all fronts in this regard! I Love it! Oh, I'm on windows 10 by the way.

Was great when it worked, currently half the tabs arent getting suspended no matter the options set. Some that are suspended dont show the ZZZ or the dot suspended icon on tab. Did factory reset multiple times, 50-50 odds of anything working. Until its updated, feel free to avoid. Edit, on further testing i noticed tabs going missing. I know for a fact i never close these tabs. Did they got closed on browser restart or while browser was working is unknown.

This extension is honestly pretty meh. It works okay at first, but it doesn’t keep all the tabs suspended. After a while, if the computer sits idle for a few minutes, some tabs just randomly wake up for no reason. Man, I really miss THE GREAT SUSPENDER NO TRACK—that one actually did the job right Edit : this extension is totally garbage edit 2: don't use this extension you will lost all your tabs one by one without knowing

:( not working anymore.

not working

not work

Tried discarding tabs, it literally just deleted all the tabs except the first one in each window and opened a page saying "All the tabs in this window are discarded! Click anywhere to delete this tab." So it just deleted all of my pages instead of "discarding" them. I'm confused.

lost my tabs

Keeps redirecting all of my searches to charmsearching and then bing. I deleted it and the problem went away. It is a piece of malware that just redirects all of your pages. Bad extension.

I accidentally "closed all other tabs" and Ctrl + Shift + T" would NOT work all due to this BS extension! Stay AWAYYYYYYY

it closes active tabs. i went for a tab after minutes and while i was still watching a video it suspended it. it happened several times.

My memory usage actually doubled after I installed this and chose to put all my tabs to sleep! Totally not what I was expecting …

Broken as per last update, it discard everything

Support sholuld be here not on third sites :( It still doesn't block Youtube even if I deleted this host under options.

I change the time setting pretty frequently, so calculating how many seconds are in 2/3/4/5/6 hours **every** single time is frustrating. Could you please change the time setting from seconds to minutes... or at least give an option to use minutes? Maybe include a minutes amount setting AND a separate seconds amount setting? (Final setting would be minutes+seconds combined) I don't know why anybody would ever need to discard tabs at a specific second? Maybe there's a reason for using seconds.

Thought it was like the great suspender, it should say it BIG BOLD LETTERS that it completely deletes your tabs and you cant get them back. I lost 50-60 tabs on 4 computers, which was days or more of research and such that is gone now. Would give this app 0 stars if I could. Auto Tab Discard, you suck!

it's need to be updated please it's your chance to gain new users after the "The Great Suspender" extension is down

no like it

i disabled automatic tab discarding buy putting it to 0, but twitter is refreshing nonstop, does not work at all. 😡😡😡😡😡😡

Options page completely locks up my browser and has to be killed when trying to change the discard time. This could very well be a good extension but I couldn't get it to work out of the box.

Broken in so many ways, have to find workarounds to actually get the tabs to discard

It mostly works. Only 2-star because of two things: - Bug with "Toolbar left-click action". It simply doesn't work when I change it to "Discard tab". I click but nothing happens. - I would like to see an option to make us click on the page to release it instead of automatically loading the page when we press on a discarded tab. Because I often click on the wrong tab. I don't want it to load right away. It's really annoying. - And when I select "discard newly open page", it would be nice to discard them before they load up. Like, when I open a group with a lot of tabs, they all load up, then they get discarded. That freezes my PC for nothing. It was OK at first, but I got annoyed over time by these... And the extension is not maintained it seems looking at the Github.

Sometimes is working but sometimes stop working... maybe because I put PC to sleep and wake it up? don't know how to fix it.

need an update... stopped working

It's nice when it works, but it's always been pretty wonky, and it's honestly been getting worse with time. Whitelisting sites for just the current session instead of permanently has never worked, and it has always been pretty random in what tabs it chooses to discard. It constantly will immediately discard a tab as soon as I switch away from it. Repeatedly. While I'm switching back and forth. But for the last month or so it's started even discarding the tab that I'm on at the time. Seriously, I will be reading something, and suddenly the page disappears. Today's instance really takes the cake though. I was on a YouTube tab, a video was playing, and I was writing a comment. That's 3 reasons at once that it shouldn't have discarded the tab, but it did it anyway. It's one step short of crashing the browser. Actually, it might as well just be that.

Sometimes the extension discards a tab right after clicking off it (or way sooner than my selected value, which is 20 minutes of inactivity). Please fix.

Could you please do NOT auto release / resume the discarded tab when I click the tab title? Is there an option? (I didn't find it.) Better keeping discarded state with only a tab title, requiring another click to resume the tab.

Edit: I'm getting really frustrated with this addon as it doesn't seem to follow some of the rules for discarding. I find it discarding tabs where I have forms that I've filled out but haven't submitted, and it will often instantly discard tabs when I leave the page. I'm getting pretty close to ditching it. --- OP: Just installed and it seems to work as advertised. Currently on work computer so I don't have any intensive tabs open to try it with, but the ones I discarded did disappear from the Chrome Task Manager. The only thing I'm not seeing is a way to have discard options in tab right-click context menus. I would like to see that so I don't have to remember the hotkey or use the extension button to discard tabs.

I tried to load it, but I got . . . This site can’t be reachedThe webpage at https://add0n.com/tab-discard.html?version=0.5.0&type=install might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR

The extension keeps discarding the active tab I am working on, sometimes even WHILST scrolling. I think they get "discarding" the wrong way

Please do a test cycle for Brave browser. The automatic discard feature (On timer) never works for me.

I had quite poor experience with this extension. It ignores its own settings. It discards pinned tabs, even if set not to. It discards whitelisted tabs and keeps non-whitelisted ones running.

I know it works for some people within my same company, so it has to be something on my Chrome or PC configuration, but no matter which options I enabled the tabs continued to be discarded. Going back to manually using chrome://discards everyday as this does work but annoying to do.

My extension doesn't remember saved exceptions for domains. This has been happening for about the last week

What's the purpose of "auto tab discard cannot discard a tab when it is active"? I thought, this was the intent. Only if I add another tab on the same window the discarding is allowed. Also, overall the documentation is too scant. Why no mention of chrome://discards/? Coming from The Great Suspender, I'm still not convinced.

God does this need a GUI redesign. This is 2020, CSS EXISTS!

It doesn't seem to work Chrome 86. I see a huge amount of RAM usage in the task manager.

I set discard timeout to 21600 seconds, but I see that tabs automatically discard after 15 minutes.

Stopped working after Chrome 79 update

does not actually clear the tabs from memory but pretends to. thegreatdiscarder works better and is actually based on chrome default discarding system. you can check that inactive tabs don't show in chrome task manager.

This extension is great, it's just missing one thing - basic functionality. Seriously, some people from past reviews have complained that they get tabs being discarded immediately upon leaving them. That would be amazing, as compared to the absolutely ZERO tabs that discard for me, regardless of extension or browser settings, when it was working perfectly just yesterday! Fix your broken extension and maybe I'll change my rating. :) But you won't, because you haven't so far, so why start now? ^^

Decent tab suspender that saves youtube timestamps (a must for me). However I find how it imediatelly unsuspends once I select the suspended tab quite annoying. If it did like other extensions and replaced the suspended tab with a blank page or screensaver it would be much better to me, but maybe it can't be helped with this one.

Doesn't discard OneTab.

i'm not sure if there has been a change in the extension or in chrome or both, but the performance of this extension has been pretty poor lately and does not seem to free up any memory. there seems to be a persistent memory leak. if you run discard other tabs it brings all windows on to the same desktop which is awful and then the discarding loop seems to stall if you have a lot of tabs so you are never sure if it is still discarding or has stalled/stopped permanently. running it again seems to refresh a bunch of windows and then stuck in the same state with no release of memory. not sure if it is working properly in the background or not, just seems to not work anymore.

When you go to a discarded tab, it reloads automatically. It's inconvenient. Add the functionality (setting) to reload the tab manually only.

I'm using 2 profiles in Chrome. It would only work in one profile even if the other has it. Working on 2 profiles simultaneously sometimes works but most of the time it doesn't
