Description from extension meta
Add lazy loading to the tabs restore built in functionality of Chrome.
Description from store
The extension adds a button who closes Chrome and in the next opening only the active tab is fully loaded. For the others tabs just the icons and the titles is loaded, until you active the tab. So now Chrome loads really fast! Even if you are tabholic like me.
Notice: The lazy loading does not work with the browser close button, you need to use the button of the extension, I have to do this because the close button of Chrome does not fire a sycronus close event.
This is an open source project, developers and ideas are welcome:

- (2018-01-28) Michael Klein: When I press the icon, it will unload all tabs and then the window crashed. I could not restore the tabs in this window easily.
- (2015-06-19) Swaroop Hangal: Works as advertised.
- (2015-03-31) Jay Knecht: It iwll only wokr if you keep all of yoru tabs in one Chrome window. I use multiple tabs in multiple windows.
- (2015-02-25) Rajko Bogdanovic: It works - most of the time. Remember, you must use its own X to close Chrome. This extension does NOT save the session; therefore, the Chrome will NOT start next time with all tabs you had open. Use one of the session managers for that. When you its X to close Chrome, all URLs get prefixed and tagged with lazy loading "codes". The only problem I encountered is that some tabs' URLs sometimes gets stuck with these tags and won't revive. That's pretty annoying but I still like this extension - 'cause there's nothing else out there for multi-tab freaks like myself (wish someone would come up with multi-row tabs finally!!) ----- I changed 4 stars to (n)one. Very often it doesn't restore the original link. It just remains there - stuck. Lost a lot of good links this way; some I can't find again. TERRIBLE!!! And what worse, I'm *sure* he/she knows about it but won't fix it!
- (2015-01-22) Mike Chelen: Works, but you must read instructions. Use button to close Chrome, and make sure your settings say to restore tabs on startup.
- (2014-09-02) Jonathan van Clute: This has such potential and is obviously a MUCH needed feature in Chrome. Heavy tab users absolutely need this, and it's one main reason why I've used Firefox as my main browser for... oh jeez over 10 years now. My issues with this extension are, in no particular order: 1) Doesn't support multiple windows. I tend to group things into windows basically by project or type of activity. Since there is no decent tab management in Chrome (AFAIK anyway) this is the best I've been able to come up with. Lazy Loading opens only one window on restart of Chrome, and I really need it to support all windows. SEMI-WORKAROUND: Reopened Chrome and went into History, where all the tabs from the missing window were shown in their own submenu. Right clicked and they all opened in a new window. Workable... ish. 2) Requires clicking the special close button. This is of course known and documented, but it would be so much nicer if it could just grab all the tabs on quit of Chrome somehow. I understand this may not be technically possible. That's pretty much it. This is a decent extension, and a good step in the right direction. If the author is still working on it, adding #1 above would take it leaps & bounds further and would have me almost living in Chrome.
- (2014-08-29) Kevin N: Nice start. Doesn't support multiple windows? I closed one window with the big X, but it didn't come back, and I couldn't figure out how to get it back. Other windows remained. Also, when I closed a window with this, I wasn't able to use Recent Tabs; the tabs were blocked, so I had to disable the extension.

- (2014-08-06) Taylor Linn: Works perfectly! Just note that you do have to use the extension to close the browser and not the typical "x" to close Chrome (which it says in the description). This really isn't an inconvenience at all, however. Really well done.
- (2014-05-22) Kon Radical: It doesn't seem to work? I use "Netgate - Black Hawk" Browser.
- (2014-04-30) shane martin: Am I missing something? all the happens when i use this extension is that chrome closes. when i re-open chrome it just gives me my homepage
- (2014-03-13) Cainã Morellato: It's perfect. Google should look at your work as an example. Thank you very much for this, my friend.
- (2014-01-03) Jimmy Burt: This extension is awesome. I have looked on several occasions since this feature was introduced in FF, but have not searched in about 9 months. I found this a couple days ago and have been using it, and loving Chrome all that much more because of it. I typically have about 10-15 tabs open at most times. This has made my day. AND I have set Chrome to be my default browser for the first time since FF intro'd this feature.
- (2013-12-14) Jake Fuller: Works like a charm. Brilliant. Aight, slight problem. It won't let me activate the inactive tabs. At all. It just keeps them blocked. That's more frustrating than Chrome's default of "load everything." Please fix this? Edit: Actually, you just have to hit the back button. It works beautifully, it just isn't obvious that the back button is the ticket.
- (2013-11-08) Ванька Клестов: Doesn't work.
- (2013-09-16) Дмитрий Свидерский: Thank you, work fine!
- (2013-08-09) Michael Pensky: Works as intended. Awesome extension.
- (2013-07-13) Basement Doc: didn't work - same loading lag, 100% cpu and memory load on restart of chrome with 10 tabs. Need true delayed loading of tabs.
