- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14167748, 7 years agoWorks as advertised, and it's significantly better than its predecessors since it uses firefox's native discard and reload methods. That means when you access a suspended tab it will go right back to the same scroll point on the page that you had it set to before. It's also smarter since it won't suspend pages playing media or that page with the important form that you were half-done filling out. Honestly it should be a standard feature of all modern browsers given how they tend to eat all your memory without it.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Kathleen, 7 years agoThis is simple to use and works great to free up computer resources. I tend to end up with 10+ tabs open and I can simply discard them all with a click. It's also very easy to set any tab to not auto discard for a session or forever, per your needs. This is the best tab discarder I've used hands down.
- Rated 4 out of 5by andario2007, 7 years agoPretty good.
Maybe not as sofisticated as similar addons I´ve used in the past, but it does well the main task.
My main issue with it is that as soon as it suspends a tab that I have bookmarked, the bookmark itself becomes grayed out, for whatever reason, so sure but slowly many of my bookmarks a looking "weird". Not that big an issue, though.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Tim Evans, 7 years agoI have only one gripe with this extension, and it may be unavoidable (for all I know) given the method it uses for "suspending" the tabs. When I close a tab that is to the left of a suspended tab, the suspended tab immediately becomes active again. I would prefer the tab remain suspended until I click in the browser content area.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Felininho, 7 years agoWork as intended, with great options for customization. I wish, though, it was more visually clear that a tab was discarded (I find the grayed icon hard to read). Thanks!

- Rated 5 out of 5by jcadbiz, 7 years agoWithout this add-on, Firefox has become an unwieldy, slowly dying wind bag. It will suck in 6GB of memory in a handful of hours, with heavy browser work. That's because of the tons of scripts and media being run on your computer. Even NoScript is not a good alternative, because it's very cumbersome - even if you use it for safety. Just be sure for ATD, that you spend a few minutes in OPTIONS (Tools / Plugins / ATD - Options) because you'll be consuming A LOT of bandwidth needlessly RELOADING stuff you're in the middle of. I am currently using 1,800 seconds before discard (30 min.), instead of the default 600 (10 minutes.)

- Rated 4 out of 5by Bayazid B. Halim, 7 years agoThis is nice, and works very well. I'd like for an option to temporarily disable auto discarding, though, since there are a lot of times when I work with a lot of tabs and I'd like to have all of them available. Thanks.
