E.g. background media playback would likely be broken, notifications, etc. I want none of those things from the "suspended" tabs. >Whereas you could simply use bookmarks instead of open tabs to get the same effect How? Do you mean I would load the bookmark into a new tab when I wanted to visit it? That not only has the same problem that I described for discarded tabs (have to wait for a page load), but is even worse because it loses all the context that discarded tabs do retain. Not to mention the annoyance of maintaining bookmarks for arbitrary tab groups that I just happen to have open. |
