    It would be helpful to have a clearer indication of a suspended tab, such as, by increasing its favicon transparency.
  • by Bert, 4 years ago
    I've run a comparison of (most) of the currently available tab suspender/tab discard addons, and Total Suspender came out as the clear winner: minimal permission footprint, works reliably, and provides the right amount of customization.

    Thanks a lot, k5md for writing (and updating) this quality addon. Let me know if there's a tip jar I could go and check out :)


    // Full comparison //

    Total Suspender: this addon, my favorite

    New Tab Suspender: runner-up, almost as good as Total Suspender, but could use a few more options

    Tab Suspender: lacks several relevant options

    Auto Tab Reaper: same as previous, not customizable enough

    Auto Tab Discard: my previous favorite, but became unreliable lately, and requires unnecessary permissions

    This extension is the best to save memory, but it would be amazing if I could suspend all my tabs to the left, or to the right, or even suspend them all, I can do it only one by one.

    This suspender works great for mobile laptop. I use it on my old asus laptop, and it keep the CPU usage down and If I need the tab back, I just need to press the suspended tab and viola the tab is back. It's great!

    Good addon. Does what it should.
    Would it be possible to show an indicator for suspended tabs in the tab?
  • by Zlobnyashka, 4 years ago
    Really simple, small and useful addon.
    It do exactly needed without any suspicious extra-permissions.

    two feature requests here:
    1. Manual tab restore:
    it would be really usefull to add option that tabs can be restored manually only (without automatic restore right after switch to the suspended tab)

    let's say, by click inside suspended tab on some special link/area

    2. suspended tab preview
    additionally for 1st FR it would be helpful to have some small screenshot-preview of suspended tab in this case.
    but at least site URL and tab name may be enough.

    and one more time, thank you for this addon.

    Simple and does what's required. However if there is an option so that tabs can be restored manually (say, after switching to the suspended tab, it only gets restored with another click on the page itself), that'd make this add-on perfect.

    A have a problem with addon, it just not working after some time from starting firefox.

    Now I set 10 seconds delay, wait for 20 seconds and press button - "suspend now if criteria match", but nothing happens. I have 96 open tabs, none of them suspend.

    If I press "suspend all now" it works fine for all tabs.

    How can I debug? The same problem was with "Tub Suspender" addon.

    May be its because other addons that I use:
    AdGuard AdBlocker
    AUto mute
    Open Tabs Next to Current?

    Thank you for any help.

    Hello, AlEx and thank you for giving Total Suspender a try!
    First of all, since addons reviews page does not allow for a conversation (I can only give a reply), I would like to request that you create an issue on project's github page ( https://github.com/k5md/Total-Suspender-webextension/issues/new ) to make communication more effective.
    To save your time, please, provide your settings in issue (especially "Ignore tabs producing sound" option status), and try to disable automute and if it doesn't help, disable Open Tabs Next to Current?, so that we can find out what causes the problem, since that if other tab suspending addon doesn't work, it is highly likely there is some conflict with Auto mute extension (then, updating tab state to "muted" somehow changes it's "audible" property?), or with tab-moving "Open Tabs Next to Current?".

    Thank you very much, great work, I love be able to use Regex (thanks for it)
  • by Ednis, 4 years ago
    saved me 30% 3gb of memory ram from +-150 tabs open. but coulda be better.
  • by MX, 4 years ago
    I'm very happy with the limited permissions!

    I wish there was a way to differentiate suspended tabs (color/brightness/size/anything) on Firefox (the way The Great Suspender extension did for Chrome).

    The settings is unstable or malfunction. Each page is suspend event if I removed it.

    The bad first: The reason I disabled the add-on is because every day several of the tabs would get stuck on the suspended moz-extension://301d3d0... URL and wouldn't refresh when I returned to the tab.

    The good: Except for the terminology whitelist/blacklist, the functionality of those lists and the un-whitelisted tabs definitely did get suspended.

    Does what it claims and does it fine.
    Would like to have a bit more specific regex options.

    Works as supposed to. It'd be perfect with option to not loading tabs automatically when clicking on them.
