Perfect for my 8gb ram laptop.

Very 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.

The best memory saver I've ever used!

I'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!

Heavily reduced the energy and performance being used by all the tabs I have open, highly recommended.

Lightweight and useful

I've found Auto Tab Discard very useful for many years. It keeps my browser running smooth, even when I've got upwards of 400 tabs open.

PostScript: Yes, I know I have an open tabs problem

Everything 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 :(

Great and works perfectly with sideberry

Life saver for 8 GiB of RAM!

Brilliant app. Life saver for computers having low ram installed. Best across the board.

Works great but development seems dead? Last updated 2 years ago as of this post.

All new tabs crash with this extension now. If the add-on won't be updated, there's no point in continuing to use it

i would just like to know when a update will be made because it's been 2 years

Awesome extension. Very useful for managing sleeping tabs automatically and/or manually.
