• (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.
• (2014-08-16) Arsalan amil: it works
• (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.

• (2018-03-02, v:1.1) Isaiah Odhner: Tabs sort of lost
  It only closes one window, which seems bad, but ended up being good because I decided to reopen the window and make sure of what it was doing and it pretty much lost the tabs of that window. First I got: lazy-loading-chrome.googlecode.com is blocked Requests to the server have been blocked by an extension. Try disabling your extensions. ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT And I tried disabling uBlock Origin, even completely, but that didn't seem to affect it. And anyways I opened it up in an incognito window and there it got a 404 for lazy-loading-chrome.googlecode.com: 404. That’s an error. The requested URL /git/server/blank.html was not found on this server. That’s all we know. So, please either update this extension, or remove it from the store, so people don't lose data!
• (2015-01-22, v:1.1) Burton Radons: Background operation must be disabled
  Note that this extension won't work if background operation is enabled. To check this, go to settings and search for "background", like so: chrome://settings/search#background The option is specifically "Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed".
• (2014-07-30, v:1.1) Peter Cordes: doesn't support multiple windows
  Say you have 3 chrome windows open, each with multiple tabs, for example. Clicking the lazy-loading "close" icon next to the omnibar will just close that window, not the whole chrome application. (only tested on GNU/Linux). Doing it for the last chrome window does close it and exit chrome, but re-running chrome only opens the tabs in the last window. If you can't fix it right away, but you can detect that the chrome window isn't the only chrome window, throw a warning so people don't lose their tabs, IMO. I usually have multiple chrome windows open, with related tabs in each window.
• (2014-06-10, v:1.1) Hannah Strong: Close button on left
  Thanks for the great plugin. It's working well for me but there's one little thing that's annoying. I have my close button on the left of my windows so it's a bit awkward to have to close Chrome on the right-side. If it's possible to have a setting to change where the button is, that would be great. Thanks again Hannah
• (2014-04-17, v:1.1) Aelys Mayako: Bug on exit
  Hi dantepregal, First, I have to say that your extension is awesome. It's exactly what I wanted in Chrome and YOU have made it! I really love that we don't lose our favicon, title and history on the tabs. Btw, I just have a problem sometimes when I want to close my browser. I click on the Lazy Loading icon, it effectively switch to the blank pages everywhere but it doesn't always close the browser. Especially when I have loads of tabs opened. It's not really irritating, I just have to press a second time (or on the "real" exit button, it works too since the tabs are already on the blank pages) but I wanted to give you a little feedback. Thanks again, you're awesome! Lyyn. (lyynou -@- gmail -.- com)
