#Tab suspender chrome install

for each opera window you have currently open (and that you still need):Ī) for each useful tab, go activate it if it gets not automagically unsuspended, and it is not unsuspending even by touching the tab window with mouse anywhere, then do select carefully all the displayed web address (ignoring the opera toast popup), then drag that blue selected text rectangle, straight into the address bar, so the tab is able to reload the original page (note: any written field data, or positioning / interaction info, will be already lost, but the page itself will be regained at last) ī) after having un-zombied all the tabs for current window, recheck them all one time again (verify that are all still active and not suspended again) Ĭ) optionally (but heavily suggested), save the recovered window's tabs on a tab saving extension (I use Tab Hamster but any will do) giving some logical name, so you can recover them anyway (disclaimer - I am not linked with that extension).

first, disable the automatic web page suspending by the extension, by going into settings for the ext and putting all 9 into time and number setting (right up text boxes) and also putting an * into the exception list (downwards), then saving with Save button, and then checking the setting have been both taken for real.

Before to remove or disable the extension, you have to: I've managed to formulate an escape strategy for the people already captured by that nightmare, that I have used to escape myself from the prison.

Do not simply disable or remove this extension, as it will let you with many 'suspended' tabs, and I dunno if you could see the original address or the suspension page after extension uninstall.

#Tab suspender chrome install

Absolutely do not install this extension! It puts you into a nightmare trap where it is very difficult to escape!! (Apart from, not working as stated).Īttention - do not close opera browser executable or reboot computer while this extension is active, or you will almost surely experiment data loss, because it is not able to restore tabs above some undefined number, after an Opera reboot, and behave with complicated failures.

Time will tell how things go, but again so far, so good. But I could just hit the back button and the 'previous' page before the 'suspended' screen was the page that had been suspended, and all the pages before it in the history of that tab were indeed still there.Īnd some minutes later I could again use the feature to click a page to unsuspend it. Indeed, a quirk I just encountered was that I found (perhaps after the browser restart) that I could not unsuspend the tab by clicking it, like it should (and had before, in testing before the browser restart). (We may want to be able to retrace our steps in the history for an open tab, which a bookmark would not do.)Īnd I can confirm that a tab suspended by this tool does retain its history.

There are reasons that bookmarks don't work well. Now we need only deal with the people who fat-shame us, as if we're wrong to want to have many tabs open. So those of us who like many tabs can do it without the memory squeeze. And it seems to leave them suspended on restart of Opera, which is great.

I dropped from Opera using 1.3g to 500m, upon suspending all tabs. I'd long been a fan of the Great Suspender in Chrome, which offers similar functionality (may well be the inspiration for this one).
