On: Chrome will aggressively throttle background tabs

[kermatt]

Any experience on how it compared to The Great Discarder from the same dev? https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/the-great-discarde...

[Ajedi32 → kermatt]

The description for that extension in the store explains it pretty well:

"""

Advantages over The Great Suspender:

- More memory savings

- Compatible with chrome tab syncing

- Super lightweight extension that uses no content scripts or persistent background scripts

Disadvantages over The Great Suspender:

- No visibility on which tabs have been suspended

- Unable to prevent a tab from reloading when it gains focus
