av Firefox user 18613498, eit år sidanThis extension is nothing short of revolutionary for heavy browser users like me. As someone who regularly juggles dozens, sometimes hundreds, of tabs across multiple Firefox windows, I've experienced firsthand the strain this puts on system resources. With only 16GB of RAM on my Mac, I often found myself teetering on the edge of 80-90% memory usage, a situation that even dedicated memory cleaning apps struggled to alleviate for more than a few seconds
Unbelievable Performance
Auto Tab Discard is on a whole different level than other tab management solutions I've tried.
• Dramatic Memory Reduction: With around 50 tabs open, the extension's impact was immediately noticeable. However, the true test came when I pushed it to the limit .
• Handling Hundreds of Tabs: Upon opening hundreds of tabs across several Firefox windows, my system's memory usage skyrocketed to 90%. Activating Auto Tab Discard resulted in an astonishing drop to 53% memory usage - a level that remained stable!! What?! ?
• Consistent Performance: Even after adding another 80 tabs in a new window and starting a YouTube video, the extension managed to keep memory usage hovering around 50%.
In my opinion, if you are a power user and struggle with browser & memory issues from having tons of tabs open, this extension’s ability to dramatically reduce memory consumption while maintaining a smooth browsing experience will shock you. At least, it has shocked me. It has fundamentally changed how I manage my browser workflow, allowing me to keep numerous tabs open without sacrificing system performance. Frankly, I’m gobsmacked.

- Vurdering: 5 av 5av Lilith D. Bracken, 14 dagar sidanThis extension is awesome for keeping my browser fast and my laptop battery lasting longer. It automatically puts inactive tabs to sleep, freeing up memory and reducing CPU use without closing anything. When I switch back, the tab just reloads right where I left off. It’s super lightweight, easy to use, and works quietly in the background. Perfect for people who keep lots of tabs open but don’t want their computer to slow down. Simple, effective, and really useful.

- Vurdering: 5 av 5av thajose, 2 månader sidanBeen a Firefox user since it was an alpha release. I've never written a review for any extension until now. This extension made Firefox on Ubuntu usable for me again. I typically have several tabs opened at all time. After 12 or so, Firefox would become nearly unusable, particularly if any videos began playing in those tabs. Auto Tab Discard has made it to where I can have several dozen tabs open and everything runs fine. To the developer, thank you so much for this.
One thing I will point out is that the name is a bit misleading - No tabs appear to be discarded, thrown away, or deleted. They are just put in a suspended state and removed from active memory. At one time, I thought Firefox had a feature like this built in however, if that still exists, it no longer works very well. Auto Tab Discard is an absolute must for me now. - Vurdering: 5 av 5av Michael Rabinovsky, 2 månader sidanI think the description says it all, but I'll add that the benefits of this addon are immense, and it is amazing to me that it isn't built into the browser. This addon turned my old laptop from unusable to nice to browse on. In addition, as a heavy tabber with hundreds of tabs open, it allows me to run more memory-intensive software on my desktop without closing my browser.

- Vurdering: 5 av 5av Firefox user 17564609, 2 månader sidanIt appears that the AI-powered tab grouping of Firefox keeps this extension from being effective.
You need to turn off 'Use AI to suggest tabs and a name for tab groups' in Settings > General.
The extension discards tabs more than Tab Unloading, a function of Firefox and is more flexible.
I still needs it. - Vurdering: 5 av 5av whatever, 2 månader sidan

Useful for my potatoe, but the options do not take effect for me for some reason which would be super helpful otherwise. Thank you. Shall revise the review when I can get that working. - Vurdering: 5 av 5av Firefox user 17628517, 3 månader sidanGood, but firefox now has built-in tab discard/unload feature, so in fact you don't need this anymore.
