Is this Extension Still needed after Tab Unloading implemented Natively by Firefox?

Open stef204 opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Since Firefox 93+, I believe, Native Tab Unloading has been implemented by Firefox. Please see here and here.

And see about:unloads in Firefox.

This implies having the config parameter (in about:config) browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory set to true.

In my case it was set to false which seems to be the default (even though I am running this extension.) I've enabled the setting now.

Are these 2 features (Native and this extension) conflicting with each other? And is this extension still needed in light of the new native feature since Firefox 93+?
