Helps Chrome run faster by freeing up memory and system resources being used by inactive tabs or old tabs

New Features
Discard all tabs at startup
Prevents Chrome from loading all your tabs at startup, while preserving the tabs in your last session.
Discard eligible tabs
Same as "Discard other tabs" but observes the current auto-discard settings, like skipping Pinned and Audio tabs.
Link to Chrome Discards page
Adds a link on the context and popup menus to launch the built-in chrome://discards/ page.
Discarding a tab does not close or remove or delete the tab. It's a feature of Chrome that simply frees up resources and memory that the tab is using. Discarding tabs should let Chrome run faster while consuming less memory.

(This is a fork of the abandoned project deanoemcke/thegreatdiscarder.)

- (2023-10-24) Jason Walls: This is the way my dudes. Trust me. Been using this extension since it was just a github fork of the original Great Discarder with the life-changing "discard all tabs on startup" option added. Beyond stoked to see it now on the chrome web store. Just download it already!

- (2023-08-02) Anno Niem: The key feature I wanted "Discard all tabs at startup" is not working for me. I'm on Vivaldi 6.1, started looking for an alternative to "Tab Suspender" as it made 6.1 crash. Sadly this one isn't it, too bad I like the simplicity of it.
- (2022-02-10) Arpad Orfi: It works. However, there are two other extensions with more features, or/and a different working mechanic what makes it possible to show a screenshot of the suspended tab without loading it (and waiting for it) again.
- (2021-11-20) 詹明鋒: 設置頁雖然是英文但可右鍵翻譯。推薦短時間開啟大量網頁用戶，設定 自動丟棄標籤 時間為20秒，勾選 啟動時丟棄所有選項卡，然後記得 右下保存。我在安裝後設置完，開啟六十多個網頁，完全不卡，而且標籤什麼的都沒有丟失，如果有使用分頁轉清單之類的擴充功能(例如OneTab)，更應該試試 ! !

- (2021-07-19) Philippe Léger: Thanks for stepping in and creating the fork!
- (2021-03-25) Pedro Duarte: Really great extension! The reloads feel faster. Yeah, we don't have a clear indication that the tab was in fact suspend, but maybe we don't need it at all. Great so far!
- (2021-03-12) Vitalie Burcovschi: My browser just got much lighter! Thank you, really needed extension.
- (2021-02-21) killua99: This is the greater extension after discard the suspender, UI wise is hard to know when you have a tabs unloaded, but well you get use to that quickly the important key of this extension is to keep chrome a bit less hungry and consume less RAM
- (2021-02-20) Michel Cadorette: One of the most useful extension to save memory !

- (2022-01-12, v:0.2.1) Ahmed Z: Does this still use re-direct to discard?
Does this still use re-direct to discard? This would cause all tabs to be lost if the extension was updated or some other issue occurred and the session had to be saved just in case.
