Would be very interesting to add an option to manually snooze tabs by right clicking a tab
and using the context menu to manually snooze tabs.
While it’s already possible to manually snooze tabs by using brave://discards and selecting “Urgent Discard” on tab, it would be a lot more practical to add the options “snooze this tab” and “snooze tabs to the right”, specially considering that it takes so much tab for tabs to auto snooze.
This would be specially useful considering that all discarded tabs are reloaded if the browser is closed and reopened
If you’re happy to use an extension, there are many which suspend tabs in various ways and scenarios. I think this is the only one which will prevent them loading st startup:
This type of proposal is more suited to the upstream project, so you might want to raise the issue there too: https://issues.chromium.org
I think that an advantage of being able to snooze tabs is to save memory. An extension would make the browser use more memory, right? Correct me if I’m wrong.
But a built-in option to snooze tabs in the right-click menu would be convenient!

In recent versions of Chrome extensions are not allowed to run permanently as background processes. Even when they could, most would use a lot less memory than a tab.
