About this extension
#### Description
**20201013 version 1.8**

20200115 version 1.7
some fixes & optimizations.
remove annoying opening from option page for no reason.
20180728 version 1.5
NEW : now backgrounded tabs network access is blocked (zero data loaded)
NEW : add an option to prefetch the main page (only html. No image, no script etc...) to get the title (may fail) and favicon (may fail also).
---
LoadTabOnSelect prevents new tabs from automatically loading, instead loading them on selection.
The intended usage of the addon is to facilitate power-users who open many tabs before viewing, but dislike auto-playing videos (and other annoyances).
This addon uses the WebExtensions API, and therefore fully supports Firefox 48+.
As a bonus the extension "fix" google.* search links prefix.
#### Tips about:config
To background a page with ctrl set browser.tabs.loadInBackground to true.
To background popup with ctrl set browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground to true.
To background bookmarked links set browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground to true.
