Rated 5 out of 5
by arst, 4 years agoI am now so exicted that this extension acutally works!! Cannot believe it! I don't know anyone out there is like me always have over 50+tabs opened. You said that is what bookmarks for? Nope. Let me tell you, if you put into the bookmarks you will just forget it. If I keep them opened, I will notice them, and never forget what I left whether or not need to continue or finisht it. Before using the extension, my Firefox always ate up 16+GB memory, I needed to upgrade my PC memory to 32GB, as I am also a programmer working with different platforms that use heaps of memory. After I install this extension, my Firefox only uses 1.6GB, 10 times less, I am not joking. Cannot be happier to find the extension. The only thing that can be improved is if there are more explanations on each option would have been better. I don't know why Firefox team cannot do it...after so many years...

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15081822, a month agoWorks as expected. Very useful for batter life and old devices with low RAM and weak CPU.
It is must given today's badly optimized and scripts entangled mess we call a web. Not so much from security POV but at least idle means idle again. - Rated 5 out of 5by rjt, a month ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by tiny dragon, 4 months agoThis addon is beautiful and a lifesaver and I love it.
My only gripe is that the name and "discard" terminology is misleading; I'd have tried it way sooner if not for that.
A must-have extension for anyone who opens a bazillion tabs all at once, and probably even for people who only open a few (since it doesn't take all that many before Firefox begins to slow, even with fast PC).
I don't know why Firefox doesn't handle unloading tabs even half this well natively, but it really doesn't. Firefox runs so much better with this installed.
I appreciate the detailed options very much, as well. You can customize it to your liking. - Rated 5 out of 5by Cleanminds, 4 months ago
