auto-tab-discard VS OneTab-Night-Mode

You might want to ask on developer of the addon: https://add0n.com/tab-discard.html

Not to be an enabler or anything, but have you tried Auto Tab Discard? Only active tabs will be loaded, so you can have thousands upon thousands of tabs without any impact on memory usage or performance.

I use Auto Tab Discard [0], which offloads tabs after a period of time. They still show as normal tabs (with a "ZZZ" icon to indicate it's been discarded), and the website reloads when I switch to them.

When I open the browser after closing it, the session is restored with all but the current tab offloaded so it opens quickly and using very little resources.

My current session has tens of tabs, only a handful of them active. It uses about .5% CPU when idle, and less than 1Gb RAM.

Also https://github.com/rNeomy/auto-tab-discard, which despite the name, doesn’t close tabs, it just unloads them from memory.

I'm using Auto Tab Discard for very fine control but it is not needed most of the time. FF does this automatically now via Tab Unloading

I think there is an issue open for this in the auto tab repo. Assuming that wasn't you who opened it you can go there and give a +1 to motivate the dev.

If something like Google Chrome is using a lot of power, can I determine which sites are using the most resources in its Task Manager (Shift+Esc)? Can I use something like Auto Tab Discard to minimize resource usage in tabs I'm not using?

I think this extension does something similar: https://add0n.com/tab-discard.html

Use the Onetab extension. Click the button and it stuffs all tabs into a big list, which you can go back to (ha! yeah right) or export to a text file that let's you ignore it for the rest of time without triggering the anxiety of having to decide to throw away information.

(Hopefully you're using something like Auto Tab Discord?) It gets to that many tabs before I stash them all away into OneTab. I've nearly 15k tabs in there.

I have used OneTab for a few years now. It's available for Firefox and Chrome as an extension. It will take all your tabs and save them all onto a single private tab. You can then go through that and organise it further into smaller groups.

You could get this extension: https://www.one-tab.com, one click and all the tabs are closed but saved as a list, so your addicted mind can think "I can look at them later.".

My fellow 100+ tabbers please try this add on: https://www.one-tab.com/

Self-hosted OneTab. OneTab currently is local only. I would like to have a self-hosted backend so all bookmarks could be synced across my devices (ideally, with E2EE).
