Lazy Tabs

When I closed and reopened a window with a tab group, all the tabs in my group were broken. the tabs were there, but the urls were replaced with about:blank.

does not work with tab groups

Doesn't work for tab groups. Not tested with other types of startups.

doesn't work

I thought it would just make my pages hibernate but it just closed all my tabs, and now I can't get them back, what the hell?

Does not work. Still loads every tab previously opened upon launching Chrome. Skip this one.

Doesn't work at all. It's like it's not even there.

Tabs reload like normal for me.

Somehow don't work at all

works here and there but not good and wastes my time

doesnt work. loads all tabs on startup! even all youtube page tabs start playing at same time !

Dont work at all. Plz fix it.

Doesn't work as of sepetember 28, 2014

Restarted Chrome and plugin didn't do anything. All tabs loaded causing sudden burden on OS.

It looked very promising, but it does not load pages well. I was unable to load even a gmail pages.

Doesn't work AT ALL!

Not working at all: still loading all the tabs, including video playback like YouTube..

Chrome still loads all my saved tabs. Even if it doesn't load them completely as some people suggested, the hit on the CPU is quite obvious. In comparison, Firefox pulls up >40 tabs without a hitch. Disappointed.

Doesn't always work.

doesnt work. pls fix it!

I couldn't get it to work either. Still loaded all my tabs. I discovered the hibernate feature of Sidewise extension works. In Sidewise options, see Tab Hibernation, check Remember Tabs and Wake Tabs on Click, and then go to Chrome settings and on startup, Open the New Tab page. Sidewise saves your last session, not Chrome itself.

Doesn't work. It's still loading all the pages.

In Opera, at startup tabs just keep trying to load with CPU at max

It does not work in Chrome Version 70.0.3538.77 (Offizieller Build) (64-Bit). Neither on startup with 32 Tabs, nor does the icon show any response or effect when clicking on it. Still every Tab gets loaded on starting chrome and it takes still the same long time to finally be able to use Chrome. This is what I wanted to prevent and thought this extension would be for. Unfortunaly I can´t say anything about it´s functionality since it doesn´t do anything, nor does it allow me to click on "Settings" in the context-menu. The only thing it seems to do is gathering my browser-history (since it is a dependency to add this extension to chrome). Since I read about this extension on popular computer-magazines´ websites I don´t assume this extension is just a scam, but it almost seems like this so far. I mean it probably collects my browser-history, but doesn´t do anything other at all.

It does as it says - stops tabs from loading upon startup. However, many tabs simply wouldn't load when I did want them. Refreshing them might bring up the content without the markup, but I couldn't do anything more with the tab. Had to cut and paste the URL into a new tab.

It actually doesn't work properly, as it doesn't even refresh tabs when focused.

Does not work with LastPass.. I just can't believe how lame Google is.. what a basic feature: "On startup, only load tabs when selected" I hope they realize what tools they seem to be. sigh

Kinda works... but still takes time loading the base html in each tab. I also noticed that after installing extension, Chrome keeps telling me that I need to "Sign in again" which is really annoying. If this extension actually caused that, then I'd rather stayed logged in versus having this extension installed.

Didn't work. Tabs just loaded html only instead of not loading at all.

I am guessing Yzurmir Yzurmir has the "Stop Autoplay in Background Tabs for Youtube" extension installed because this extension did not stop the YouTube videos from playing on startup. Perhaps this extension broke after a Chrome update? (It seems to have worked back in 2012 according to Michael Marner.)

chrome lags for like 20 seconds and then it has 70% to crash...

I second the problem in wich when a new windows is opened, the other windows gets discarded, tested on MacOs, otherwise great app

I use this extension to stop chrome from reopening all of my tabs when open chrome, and it's works. The problem I'm have with this extension is every time I open a windows or a popup open (like a google login) it discard all of my open tabs! it's so annoying. this is happen to me in my Linux machine (Arch Linux with Gnome).

I'm not sure whether to classify this as a bug or a feature request but one HUGE limitation of this extension is that tabs that have not yet loaded a title are saved as blank pages. This means that if you open more than say 5 pages at once, you would have to wait for each page to slowly load one by one before they can be unloaded from ram -or even going one page at a time, you still have to wait for each page to load its title before it can then be discarded, which imo is a needless user interaction. It would be vastly preferable if lazytabs could remember the web addresses of tabs 'in loading queue', or possibly if the unloading mechanism could wait until a title is loaded before unloading each tab. This second option would also help with the use of another extension, tabs outliner, which currently displays no name and not even a web address for tabs that haven't loaded a title. I suppose I could just use tabs outliner for all this, except then I would have to reload the main page and hope that the browser remembers where I'd scrolled to, just to unload pages that I would like to read later. Please consider it, thanks!

How can I unload pinned tabs. Is it possible?

This seems to work properly for me, except a warning: it WILL prevent installing other Chrome extensions from the store unless you disable it when you try. It took me forever to figure out that it was this extension causing it.

Works great, except, we have an issue that it's blocking sync from staying connected. This extension is causing the dreaded "Account sign-in details are out of date" issue that many of us seem to be having. What I really wish, would be for chrome to allow pinned tabs to not load in the background in the first place.

I would like what ever firefox does with regards to tab loading or suspended loading on start-up.

does not completely block inactive tabs, therefor not useful. i like how tiny it is, tho.

Please make it work as in FFx. Open window - load. Not just active window. When you have few windows open it reloads the window. No need. Tx

It parked about half my tags and the other half were just chrome error pages that required me to refresh to see page. Doesn't seem to work as described. On restart all were error pages on second try. A + for author effort.

Didn't appear to have any effect at all. ETA: Actually, it does, if you disable "Run Chrome in Background", which I had enabled because I use the Hangouts App. It works, however I find it inelegant the way it partially loads pages ( for example sometimes CSS does not load, even after refreshing, etc.) Good enough, but a native way to make Chrome itself do this would be so much better.

Sometimes Chrome tell me:"There is a problem , please refresh the tab."

Could you add an option to not load anything from the URL, not start any request, just load the favicon if its cached on chrome and the tille from cache too, if possible? Then it would be perfect! Thx
