• (2023-11-06) Uffa Chebarba (Evolution Inside): It seems it does not work anymore after the last chrome update.
• (2023-09-30) Jon Håvard Sevaldsen: This extension is simply invaluable. I have set it up as a shortcut on Alt+W which I use all the time out of muscle memory.
• (2023-06-19) Ozu: хорошее дополнение... но на темной теме совершенно его не видно и это очень неудобно... хотело бы вариант хотя бы сегорого цвета или в идеале чтобы можно было выбирать в настройках! Спасибо... пока что 4 звезды из-за того что значка совершенно невидно во мнногих случаях. good addition... But on the dark theme it is not visible at all and it's very inconvenient... would like an option of at least a gray color or ideally to be able to choose in the settings! Thanks... so far 4 stars because the icon is completely invisible in many cases.
• (2023-05-06) Jesús Gildardo Mejía Cortés: Excelente. Abro mas de 100 pestañas de una carpeta de favoritos y sin esta extensión Chrome se come toda la RAM de mi PC y todo es un caos. Solo hago clic en el ícono, se descartan todas las otras pestañas y todo vuelve a la normalidad.
• (2022-04-05) Andrés Access: In Opera, at startup tabs just keep trying to load with CPU at max
• (2021-10-18) Альбина Ведьма: doesn't work
• (2021-04-22) Несусвет: Мгновенно выгружает вкладки. Не загружает фоновые вкладки при старте браузера. Open source 👍🏻 Минусы: - Никак не помечает убитую вкладку, так что невозможно понять какие вкладки выгружены. - Выгружает все вкладки (кроме текущей и закреплённых), а возможность выбрать только одну какую-то конкретную вкладку не реализована.
• (2020-07-06) Keith Taylor: It just works! Chrome is now much more responsive.
• (2020-07-03) Dasha Shigaeva: Nice onу, really helpful for my Macbook as saves memory that Chrome usually takes a whole lot!
• (2020-04-12) Sergei Gryzin: Pls add white list for sites (eg youtube, etc)
• (2020-02-09) Wiktor Weber: Однозначно лучшее расширение в своем классе. Не хватает только работы с режимом инкогнито (only thing missing is working in incognito mode)
• (2020-02-09) ShuiXian Ye: god
• (2020-01-13) Nomentsoa Andrian.: Can't live without this
• (2019-12-16) Nicole Sung: This extension is a life-saver. Whenever I have multiple tabs running and everything starts to lag, my potato computer comes back to life once I click this extension.
• (2019-06-10) GIVdB: Hey bro you just aliviated me years of headache! Thanks!
• (2018-12-13) Dima Sss: Это что было нужно хрому и мне, при старте не дает грузить все вкладки, по нажатию выгружает остальные, спасибо чувак ты нас всех спас. Остается вопрос со стабильностью но есть сессионбудди если что он все сессии помнит так что нет проблем. Добавить бы настроек, например белый список, кнопку в меню, но это так придирки.Почему я раньше не знал о нем? чувак сделай пару статей о своем расширении на хабре и других ресурсах, пусть люди узнают многим такое нужно. Спасибо.
• (2018-12-09) Or Schiro: Eine tolle Erweiterung. Habe sie mal bei mir im Blog genauer beleuchtet: http://orschi.ro/nicht-alle-tabs-beim-start-von-chrome-laden/
• (2018-11-08) Walter Wiseman: It does not work in Chrome Version 70.0.3538.77 (Offizieller Build) (64-Bit). Neither on startup with 32 Tabs, nor does the icon show any response or effect when clicking on it. Still every Tab gets loaded on starting chrome and it takes still the same long time to finally be able to use Chrome. This is what I wanted to prevent and thought this extension would be for. Unfortunaly I can´t say anything about it´s functionality since it doesn´t do anything, nor does it allow me to click on "Settings" in the context-menu. The only thing it seems to do is gathering my browser-history (since it is a dependency to add this extension to chrome). Since I read about this extension on popular computer-magazines´ websites I don´t assume this extension is just a scam, but it almost seems like this so far. I mean it probably collects my browser-history, but doesn´t do anything other at all.
• (2018-10-11) Eric Leung: I'm not sure whether to classify this as a bug or a feature request but one HUGE limitation of this extension is that tabs that have not yet loaded a title are saved as blank pages. This means that if you open more than say 5 pages at once, you would have to wait for each page to slowly load one by one before they can be unloaded from ram -or even going one page at a time, you still have to wait for each page to load its title before it can then be discarded, which imo is a needless user interaction. It would be vastly preferable if lazytabs could remember the web addresses of tabs 'in loading queue', or possibly if the unloading mechanism could wait until a title is loaded before unloading each tab. This second option would also help with the use of another extension, tabs outliner, which currently displays no name and not even a web address for tabs that haven't loaded a title. I suppose I could just use tabs outliner for all this, except then I would have to reload the main page and hope that the browser remembers where I'd scrolled to, just to unload pages that I would like to read later. Please consider it, thanks!
• (2018-09-22) Rai Ng: I thought it would just make my pages hibernate but it just closed all my tabs, and now I can't get them back, what the hell?
• (2018-09-14) Jerzy Głowacki: Faktycznie zmniejsza zużycie pamięci RAM przez wyładowanie nieaktywnych kart po kliknięciu na ikonę.
• (2018-08-24) Dixie Normous: awesomesauce! Thanks. IMO this feature (or lack thereof) should be considered a bug in chrome that it DOESN'T already do this by itself
• (2018-08-19) Alex Viñoly: Se acelero mi pc 100%, el cual no tiene un procesador muy potente. Gracias!

• (2018-05-01) Shahed Faisal: Very useful functionality but the icon is a huge turn-off.
• (2018-04-27) Ivan Nikolaev: How much pain and anger I suffered through years with Chrome without this little button... Now everything has fallen into its place, puzzle is solved. Thank you from the deep of my heart!
• (2018-01-22) JCDenton Alex Melyon: How can I unload pinned tabs. Is it possible?
• (2018-01-10) Bill Wood: New version works very well, however sometimes on startup it gets control before tabs have loaded and therefor can't discard them on startup. When this happens, just click its icon to discard tabs.
• (2018-01-10) ВАСЯ пупкин: Грандиозное творение! Автору поставить памятник при жизни!) Такое легкое и быстрое! Спасибо за труд! *****
• (2018-01-07) Vadym Stupakov: Nice app. It works! I'm happy that this app uses ONLY ONE permission "Browser History", while other extensions use too much permissions. Thank you!
• (2017-12-23) saltlakedood: It works! This makes the Chrome browser useful and usable. Before lazy tabs I barely used Chrome. I used other browsers which built in lazy loading of tabs. I also like that you can click the icon and it will unload all but the current tab. A great memory saver!
• (2017-12-16) Alex Sirov: All ok. Наконец нашел то, что работает.
• (2017-11-27) Franklin Davis: Perfect, except it causes failure of a tricky form on a page I use often: <form method="post" action="/home.nsf/PRMENU?OpenForm&amp;Seq=1&amp;BaseTarget=_blank" name="_PRMENU" target="_blank"> <input type="hidden" name="__Click" value="852570C800185AE6.e4f5a7364d78a0df8525731f0020d0b1/$Body/0.C32"> <input name="PRNumber" value="" target="_blank" <input type="button" value="Go" onclick="return _doClick('852570C800185AE6.e4f5a7364d78a0df8525731f0020d0b1/$Body/0.C32', this, null)"> </form> Would be good if LazyTabs had a setting to disable for certain URLs or domains.
• (2017-11-24) Kaylakaze -: This seems to work properly for me, except a warning: it WILL prevent installing other Chrome extensions from the store unless you disable it when you try. It took me forever to figure out that it was this extension causing it.
• (2017-03-15) Wayne Christopher: Does not work. Still loads every tab previously opened upon launching Chrome. Skip this one.
• (2016-12-03) Victoria Kershner: Doesn't work at all. It's like it's not even there.

• (2019-03-18, v:0.5.2) Brian: I was wondering if this extension is any different from native lazy tabs?
  There used to be a chrome extension called native lazy tabs which essentially did the same thing, native lazy tabs used chrome's native tab discarding api, do you use the same thing?

  Parece no funcionar correctamente en el navegador Vivaldi, no es Chrome pero esta basado en Chromium, deveria funcionar.
• (2018-04-14, v:0.5.2) Miro Ruňák: session manager
  It would be very useful, if it works with session manager, when I open session all tabs are start to load
• (2018-01-17, v:0.5.1) Xao Fan-Tzilin: Идея
  Хотелось бы такое расширение, добавляющее в меню вкладок 2 строки: 1. "Выгрузить вкладку" 2. "Выгрузить все вкладки, кроме этой" Первой опцией можно пользоваться так - находясь в одной вкладке, открываешь меню другой вкладки и там выбираешь "Выгрузить эту вкладку", и выбранная вкладка выгружается из памяти (сама вкладка остаётся). Это позволить облегчить память системы. А вторая опция понятна, по аналогии с первой, только в отношении всех остальных вкладок, кроме активной.. Кстати, я только что описал опцию, встроенную в браузер Vivaldi (не расширение), но хотелось бы иметь такую возможность и на других хромоклонах..
• (2018-01-17, v:0.5.1) Xao Fan-Tzilin: Прикреплённые вкладки
  Хотелось бы, чтоб и прикреплённые страницы не грузились при старте, если не активны. А то у меня, как правило, при старте браузера все имеющиеся страницы прикреплённые (pinned), и от вашего расширения нет пользы. А казалось бы какая разница, прикреплена страница или нет..
