I've tried countless extensions to try and automate the process of opening discarded tabs, but I've always come back to this one. Is it awkward to use an additional Context Menu option instead of the default one? Sure, but the freedom to open tabs either discarded or normally, with as little bugs as possible, is worth it.

Every other extension I've tried is a pain in the butt and not worth the trouble.

BRILLIANT CONCEPT! Open a link in a new tab and have the tab automatically hibernated!
>>> Q: Why is the new context menu option at the *bottom* of the list??? <<<
>>> REQ: PLEASE PUT NEW TAB NEXT TO CURRENT TAB!!! <<<
>>> REQ: PLEASE ADD A BETTER DESCRIPTION TO HELP NEW USERS UNDERSTAND! Don't use "discard" in the explanation! Use 'deactivated' or 'hibernated' or 'suspended' etc.... Make sure you tick "Enable in Incognito tabs"!! <<<

Works as described, adds a context menu entry "Open link in new discarded tab" to links, which does exactly what you expect

I love this simple addon :)
