tab hibernation is very useful when you use persistent sessions and have many tabs opened. as it is now, on browser start all tabs will start loading simultaneously even if you don’t need them at this time, using up bandwidth and contributing to system resource usage.
with tab hibernation available, when starting the browser only the active tab will be loaded, and the rest will wait in hibernation, possibly grayed out to indicate them being hibernating, not loading anything until focused on, saving bandwidth and ram/cpu. a tab that’s left for later (for example daily updates) could also be put manually into hibernation, which will unload it, freeing system resources, waiting until focused on again to load it rather than always having it loaded and active.
Following Google removing The Great Suspender from the Chrome Store for it containing malware, I would second this request - I would feel more comfortable with this being a feature built into the browser and it would match the feature provided in other Chromium based browsers such as Edge and Vivaldi
What’s the purpose of leaving a lot of tabs open? I mean, you’re basically leaving open as a Bookmark you end up switching to. And you can set multiple bookmarks to open at the same time. I really do fail to understand the usefulness here?
there seems to be a similar feature in brave “brave://discards/”. Anyways if you’re researching something, you have multiple windows on different monitors with about 10+ tabs each, or just trying to find something, you’ll usually end up using a lot of system resources (depending on the websites)
Yes, I use a translator xd, as I am not a native English speaker. I hope it helped you, and that soon they will be available by default in the Browser.
Microsoft Edge’s solution of real sleeping tabs is still more superior than the option Brave delivers.
This is basically making use of Chromiums Discard feature, while Microsoft implemented real sleeping tabs - which do not fully unload but just are inactive.
Please add real sleeping tabs. This approach of “using Chromium internal stuff and call it a day” is pretty non satisfying…
open tabs reduce actions, it is better for a browser to open and group thousands of tab then we wasting keystrokes to bookmark and save tabs groups,
also it is best browser which is open and forget basis, as browser is not such work related and so internal hibernation is best feature to achieve less resources allocation.
Atleast lame solution is also works (urgent basis),
just close tab or delete page, and tab be just for show. empty page (or value) it reloads as soon as we open it. And better it be on my context and sub- menus
just disable bunch of tabs instead of relying memory savers timer.
I hope this happens soon, most pages i visit, 10 webpages at a time which is more than 200mb, despite of using ublock origin media block, i need addition and controlable ways to save my resources.
