by kelendral, 5 years agoThe description makes claims that are not so true in the current FF environments (other unloaders don't actually unload) that are easily verified in about:performance and about:memory. Checking those, one can see if the other unloaders work or not.
Annoyingly it does something no other unloader I have tried so far does, marks every tab it unloads as 'updated' in the same way as if the tab had an autorefresh or notification. This makes every tab it unloads look as though a message is pending if you highlight such in any way. UNLOADING SHOULD NOT MARK A TAB AS UPDATED!
Last it misses tabs that based on the setting should most definitely be unloaded. Sometimes even duplicates of the same tab (thus confirming no rule conflicts as it unloads some but not other duplicate identical content tabs).

- Rated 5 out of 5by Reigar, 2 days agoUsing with Firefox 151.0.1 (64-bit) on Linux Mint 22.3 with 16 Gb of ram. Generally run about 15 tabs, with many known for eating ram (e.g., voice.google.com). On average, app will reduce consumed amount of ram from 5 gb, down to 2 gb if all tabs are asleep "aka discarded". very much worth it.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19964793, 2 days agoSO FAR SO GOOD, WORKED IMMEDIATELY "OUT OF THE BOX" WISH WE COULD WHITELIST LEFT ALIGNED PAGE FORMAT VS JUSTIFIED FORMAT. THAT'S JUST A LITTLE NUANCE, BUT THE REST IS GREAT👍

Amazing, it works really well no need to configure. Using since 2021. - Rated 5 out of 5by rado84, 2 months agoI've only used this extension for 5 minutes and I already love it! Surprisingly, it still works, despite that the last update was 4 years ago. I installed it only because of this option: "Allows for the forced discarding of specified hostnames". And it works better than expected! It doesn't allow opening tabs leading to a specific site. Not just "open and then autoclose the tab", as I thought it would. It plain and simple doesn't allow the tab to be created! <3
Thanks you for creating this awesome extension! - Rated 5 out of 5by sudakaloko, 2 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14026712, 2 months agoLove how it puts a sleep sign on inactive tabs, but when opening a sleeping tab I don't have to click again on the page to open it, the page opens automatically. Well done!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15275344, 2 months agoExcelente extensión. Ha liberado el procesador y la ram rápidamente, y tiene muchas opciones para poder configurarla a tu gusto. La recomiendo totalmente. Es brillante. Gracias a su desarrollador, y al equipo que la hace posible.
