- (2025-07-10) Morti H.: This should be a standard, built-in Chrome feature, so that no one would experience RAM issues anymore. Ah, Chrome...

- (2023-08-16) Bernát Gyovai: I use Brave and it probably had an update, because suddenly in the last ~2 days when I open the extension's menu, it's only about 10px + scrollbar wide. I can't see anything in it as the text is all clipped. I used Unload Tab religiously with Brave for the last few years on all my PCs, could you please look into it?

- (2021-09-25) Lucas C. Flores: TL;DR: Add a one-click button to unload everything but the current tab. That's what most people are looking for, when when search for a tab unloader. Reasoning: What's the point of having to manually find 15 tabs to unload from a list of +60 tabs I have open, having to remember the ones I have active, then unloading one by one, when all I want is to quickly to unload everything but the tab I'm working on at me moment? It's faster and easier just to close Chrome and reopen it. Most people just want to click a button and unload everything but the tab they are working with right now. Nobody wants to selectively unload this or that tab. We just want to get rid of the clutter and move on with our work.
