Feature request: ability to discard tabs from about:performance
Sometimes I get specific tabs eating up a lot of CPU but I don't know which ones they are, so I have to check about:performance. It would be nice if i could directly discard from there via a right click menu or a button or somesuch.
As far as I know, this information is not accessible by extensions. So, for now, it is not possible.
I suspected that, which is a shame. Hopefully the situation will improve. I don't know anything about addon development, is there an open issue on the mozilla tracker?
Has anything changed in that regard? I'm a chromium user still with lots of tabs going over 100% CPU as described in #127 .
Thanks!
@John-Gee I am not clear what the issue is? Did ATD discarded tabs after the defined period? Is this CPU usage caused by this extension or your web pages? btw, we still have no method to detect CPU-intensive tabs. We just have an optional module to discard based on memory usage. You can share a page with the issue and I'll see if I can find a way to add this CPU usage module.
I have some tabs that use a lot of CPU that I'd like to get auto-discarded, similarly to what ATD does for tabs using a lot of RAM. ATD works just fine for what it currently supports.
A simple example is this: https://old.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/ I think issue there is from styling.
I've played with a few things and it seems simply having another tab active in the window is enough to drop CPU usage, no need to discard the bad tab (though that's better to do so of course). I'm guessing this is coming from background-timer-throttling or similar.
Thank you very much!
