Delay release discarding of next/previous tabs until current loads completely

[KAGEYAM4]

We have two options under settings -->

• Release discarding of the next tab (tab to the right of the active tab)
• Release discarding of the previous tab (tab to the left of the active tab)

So when i click an unloaded tab, three tabs are loaded simultaneously whereas i only needed one and the other two were for when i am done with current one. So that means they can be delayed until current one loads completely. This will reduce the network/cpu load.

Just disable those options if you don't like them :))))

Seriously, this is actually a killer feature

The point here is to have them preloaded in advance, because quite probably you are going to close the first very soon.

You are looking for something around 30 pages, for example, most of them are irrelevant after wasting 1 second on them.

So you have the next ready without waiting. Got it?

Or perhaps I don't fully understand you. You mean load the "children" after finish loading the "parent" one?

Could be, but sometimes i close the "parent" in a matter of milliseconds :))

I opened a proposal related to this. To have a group of fixed children. Because 1 o 2 sometimes is not enough.

Yes, load the main tab then load tabs that are beside it.

Could be, but sometimes i close the "parent" in a matter of milliseconds :))

What i am hoping is, where the main tab could be prioritised in terms of Network and CPU, so that it get loaded first and others tab load later or don't compete with main tab.

uhhh yes yes, i got it, quite subtle and smart.

Because yes, I will close it in a matter of milliseconds, but FIRST I need it ready to take a look

and do you know what? it is not a exaggerated thing, sometimes, depending on the site, between being loading a page and being loading two, the time can be very much, youtube for example...

[simper66]

the key was the word "compete"

[simper66]

youtube is quite ridiculous

1 page 12 seconds 2 page in pararel 25 seconds

i am thinking in write a plugin to optimize youtube's load

because together stackoverflow, github, etc, is a classic case
