I'm pretty sure that Chrome does this automatically. When I work I usually need about 98,000 tabs open at a time and often I don't actually click any of them but I need them.
Anyway I will often open a tab and have to wait to it for it to load. But I've played around with it and I don't seem to be able to get consistent results so I'm not sure what parameters it's using.
What the hell are you working?
Research :clueless:
Right now?
So a fair few. Although I can probably close the UPS live chat tab because I'm getting nowhere with these idiots.
This reads like the dystopia in which every piece of software got replaces by a proprietary web application by some evil mega corp. What you need is at least a mail client and a word processor.
Firefox also does this automatically, and you're not supposed to mess with it.
No, no you don't. IF you aren't accessing stuff on them, you don't need them open. Keeping 100 tabs open for later, is stupid.
It also doesn't affect performance because Chrome closes them as needed so why not?
