don't snoze file:// URIs

Open dchmelik opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

I had to stop using because snozes my static file:///home/user/file URIs but there's zero reason to ever do so.

On what browser?

File:// is standard on all; happens to me on Firefox, Chrome/Edge but presumably all.

I dropped a file in my browser, but it does not get discarded automatically. I am not sure how it gets discarded for you since the extension does not even have permission to interact with local files. Based on the permissions, it only can see *://*/* pages.

Is it possible that Chrome itself is discarding the file:// URL, and not this extension? Does it get discarded if the extension is disabled?

I'm taking the liberty of commenting on this "old" ticket since it's still open and since I encountered the problem myself today and found a solution. It wasn't Auto Tab Discard that was suspending my "file:///" tabs, but Chrome itself !

As a result, setting an exception as shown in the screenshot solved the problem.
