New option added – you can now choose to automatically unload hidden tabs.
This is off by default. You can enable it in the extension’s Preferences page (right click on the extension icon -> Preferences tab).

Unloading hidden tabs will free up memory, but keep in mind:
* Tabs will reload when you switch back to them.
* Any unsaved work in those tabs may be lost.
* Audio or running processes in hidden tabs will stop.

Use it only if you want to save memory and are okay with these limits.

This version improves user experience when restoring tabs - now only the tab created by this extension will be destroyed instead of all empty (about:blank) tabs.

Added external message handling - now other Add-ons (i.e. Gesturefy) can send the message "HIDE_TABS" to trigger this extension.

This version adds an options page where you can setup a custom URL to open instead of an empty tab when hiding tabs.
