Too many symbols of the discarded tab.

After a couple of hours there are too many discarded tab symbols within the window bar.

As a picture is worth a thousand words, I'm attaching a screenshot: 211210-100346 ff AutoTabDiscard

I can't see any use of this.

Go to the options page and clear the "prepend" symbol. When you have too many tabs, having this symbol does not make sense.

Well, if I clear that symbol, there will be none symbol within the discarded tab, right? I would say it is fine to recognise discarded tabs at first glance.

In this case I'd add an extension for vertical tabs.

Can't you just a notification dot to the tabs that are suspended? Something like image this?

That's been in for years, greying out & grey dot:

Well, I could live with that.

I can't still comprehend what is the purpose for adding a new symbol for each new discarding.

As a TreeStyleTab user, my tabs are shown vertically, so I don't mind the symbol. And as a user of multiple extensions that sometimes overlap partially in functionality, I find it useful to know that a bunch of tabs have been unloaded by Auto Tab Discard, instead of whatever else. It helps when something unexpected happens.

I didn't get your point. I've been using Tree Style Tab extension as well. And there's too many discarded tab symbols within the window bar (after some time). And of course, I haven't mentioned that those symbols appear within tabs.

And yes, I'd like to see discarded tabs, however, this could be enough.
