About Auto Tab Discard
Auto Tab Discard unloads tabs that have been idle for a configurable period, freeing their memory while leaving the tab visible so a click restores it. Rules exclude pinned tabs, audible tabs, forms with unsaved input and domains you whitelist.
Strengths
- Frees memory without losing tabs or their order
- Sensible exclusions for pinned, playing and form-filled tabs
Limitations
- Restoring a discarded tab reloads it, which loses unsaved page state
- Aggressive settings reload pages more often than you want
