par taco, il y a 3 ansLoving the addon so far ! Been using it for months now and had zero bugs, it has simply just worked 100% of the time, which is amazing.
I have a feature request though which in my opinion would add to it's value immensely.
As the core goal of this is not necessarily reducing the number of loaded tabs, but rather reducing CPU (and by extension, battery/heat/power) usage, RAM and disk I/O. So what would be great, would be the possibility to unload tabs by their resource usage. This data is available in firefox profiler capabilities but it's rather cumbersome going checking the data by hand through the debugging tools.
The feature could be added as a new condition to be mixed with others, like after X open tabs unload tabs which use >X% CPU and/or >X MB RAM / unload the next highest resource usage tab / after X minutes close tabs using X% cpu or X MB RAM / only close tabs which use >X resources.
Adding a tooltip when hovering over a tab which displays their CPU/RAM usage would be neat too.
For my use case as I've moved the FF profile to ram disk and I have plenty of RAM, I don't really care about disk I/O or RAM usage, but badly coded CPU-heavy scripts on some sites makes browsing a slog (not to mention killing the battery when on a laptop), hence this plugin. But a static site which runs very little to no scripts does not really contribute to the resource usage, unlike some badly behaving sites.
And systems which are more starved of RAM, could start unloading tabs by highest RAM usage instead, when total RAM usage exceeds X MB as a condition, for example.
Anyway, just my two cents for now, and keep up the good work !

- Noté 5 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 18862493 de Firefox, il y a 6 joursI'm a little bit of a tab hoarder... And that results in all of my 32GB of RAM filling up all the time. Then I need to close the browser and open it again, to free up my RAM. My next planned step before knowing about this extension was to buy more RAM.
But this extension fixes the problem. All tabs that are not used just get their resources freed after some time. How this is not a standard feature in Firefox baffles me... So it goes without saying; This is a great extension! - Noté 5 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 18576703 de Firefox, il y a 12 joursHeavily reduced the energy and performance being used by all the tabs I have open, highly recommended.

- Noté 4 sur 5par trav1295, il y a un moisEverything works for me (that I've set it up for) except the option to discard pinned tabs on startup. Logs just say it's not ready. But, this add-on seems to be abandoned atm :(

- Noté 5 sur 5par Mad_dog, il y a 2 moisAwesome extension. Very useful for managing sleeping tabs automatically and/or manually.

- Noté 5 sur 5par FA, il y a 2 moisFantastic add-on. One feature request though - could you add the ability to not automatically reload the tab when viewing a discarded tab. In other words, if I click on a discarded tab, it should show a "discarded tab" page and only when I "click" on the page should it load. The reason is that lots of time I accidentally switch to a discarded tab and then it loads the tab when I really wanted it to stay discarded. This is a feature that the Marvellous Suspender has and I think it would be a great feature addition here.
