von taco, vor 3 JahrenLoving 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 !

- Bewertet mit 4 von 5 Sternenvon caam, vor 9 TagenWorks like it should.
The settings are a bit complicated.
I could have the option to have more than one set of criteria, before closing tabs. Eg. closing tabs after 20 min, when having more than 10 open, but also closing tabs after 10 min, when having more than 25 open. - Bewertet mit 5 von 5 Sternenvon Artem, vor 13 Tagen

- Bewertet mit 5 von 5 Sternenvon SleepyEvie, vor einem Monatits like marvellous suspender for chromium browsers but works better in every single way (for me). I had a lot of time consuming issues with various suspender versions after the official one died and swapped to firefox a few months ago, this one JUST WORKS! big fan.

- Bewertet mit 4 von 5 Sternenvon ckrysiak, vor einem Monatworks fine for the most part, but as of a couple days ago youtube tabs won't automatically discard any more when first opened, which is what I mainly use this for. Other than that I've not had any other real problems with this.
Edit: I originally gave this a three star review for the above issue, but it turns out Auto Tab Discard is interacting with UBlock Origin in a weird way and it's only when UBlock is active that I have this problem. Not really much I can do about it, but also not really the fault of this addon, so I bumped the rating up. - Bewertet mit 5 von 5 Sternenvon Firefox-Benutzer 16891909, vor einem Monat

- Bewertet mit 5 von 5 Sternenvon default-design, vor 2 MonatenAz újabb Firefox nem kezeli jól a memóriát és elképesztően sokat zabál (belőle) így aki úgy használja amiben ez a böngésző eredetileg a legjobb volt, tehát sok ablak = lap = fül = tab akkor ez neki való mert az inaktívak nem használnak memóriát és így végre újra a régi az élmény.

- Bewertet mit 5 von 5 Sternenvon Terrasse, vor 3 MonatenVery good work! This extension effectively reduces the RAM usage. Among all these extensions with similar function, Auto Tab Discard works best and is the most configurable.
