Set ALL TABS to "load on demand" or "suspend before load" for session load

I use Brave Browser, which (like Chrome and Edge, apparently) does not offer a load-tabs-on-demand feature. My standard browsing session includes >700 tabs, many of which I visit daily (and most of which are organized in collapsible groups). In a multi-process browser like Brave, this would normally pose a *serious* memory-management problem, but I have 32GB of RAM and, thanks to Tiny Suspender, my memory usage remains quite manageable (~14GB total with a couple other programs running) — ONCE THE INITIAL SESSION LOAD HAS COMPLETED AND TINY SUSPENDER HAS SUSPENDED MOST OF THE TABS. It's the initial browser startup / session load that's seriously problematic:

When I'm forced to restart Brave (for a browser update or after a computer reboot), EVERY SINGLE ONE of my >700 tabs gets loaded before Tiny Suspender attempts to suspend it, my 32GB of RAM gets maxed out, and Brave is largely unresponsive and unusable for ~30 minutes. (If my browser exit was voluntary and I'm not being forgetful, I can shave some time off the restart by setting Tiny Suspender's timeout to 1 minute before exiting. If I don't do this before exiting, it typically takes ~20 minutes for Tiny Suspender's settings icon to become responsive.)

I've relied on sessions in lieu of bookmarks for a couple of decades and am not enthusiastic about returning to the days of fastidiously organizing and maintaining bookmarks. It would be TERRIFIC if Tiny Suspender could step in and offer a solution to a problem that chromium-browser developers have ignored for years. From what I've read on the Net, slow initial loads are driving MANY chromium-browser users INSANE — not just me. Thanks very much for considering my input!

suggestion - favicons

Would be helpful if the suspended tab displayed the suspended sites favicon rather than the apps own favicon
Thank you for the app though

I believe based on the release notes that has been fixed, but apparently it is still an issue. I am having the same problem with hundreds of tabs I have to force refresh to see what is what and it's unmanageable!
Upvoting this issue!!

Extension suspends the currently active tab as if it were a background tab

I shouldn't have to use "disable auto-suspension on this tab" to prevent the tab from suspending if it is the one that I leave in focus. (e.g. I am watching a video. I pause the video to go make lunch. I return to the video, suspended, and without memory of time position.)

I would expect to be able to return to the tab, unsuspended, so long as I didn't click away to a different tab before leaving. I feel this should be default behavior. But a toggle in the settings to enable/disable this behavior would be acceptable.

New Tab Group Update Causes Bug

Whenever a suspended tab is added to a group it wont let me restore the tab unless I close the browser and re-open it.

Umportieren dieser Erweiterung zu Firefox

Ist es geplant das diese Erweiterung für den Gebrauch in Firefox um portiert wird? Es wäre wirklich toll diese Erweiterung auch in Firefox zu nutzen.

Fade Inactive TABS.

Not bad. One thing that annoys me is that the suspended tab icons are same as all the other active tabs. Please make it so the icons are faded, etc., so we can clearly see that those tabs are inactive. Pet peeve, but helps to tell which are suspended, instead of clicking on tab to make sure, etc.

Suspend/Restore actions on a window aftecs the active tab on all other windows

Hello,

If you use a keyboard shortcut to suspend/restore a particular tab, it also aftects the active tabs on all browser windows, when it should apply only to the active tab in the active window. If you suspend/restore via the Tiny Suspender menu in the toolbar, the extension behaves as expected and doesn't affect other windows. Would it be possible to fix it?

Thanks,

Fabio
