By the way, is there an extension (I'm interested in both Firefox and Chrome) which would force all the new (background) tabs to be created in the suspended state (like if you had opened them in background and then restarted the browser) and only start loading after you actually open them?


Auto Tab Discard adds an option to your right click menu "Open in Discarded Tab"


Thank you very much! Not really a perfect solution (you still have to make many clicks, I just use MiddleClick or Ctrl+LeftCLick to open a background tab normally) but a really great extension nevertheless. I'm very happy to discover it.


Ditto


Same here!
