Difference with Auto Tab Discard #13
Comments
The I think that the only reason to use the feature now is if you want Auto Tab Discard to change the favicon of unloaded tabs so that you can see them easier. This extension is really for quickly and easily unloading tabs via Tree Style Tab's sidebar by for example middle clicking tabs. From what I understand Auto Tab Discard has some more advanced features like unloading tabs after they have been unused for a certain amount of time or after a certain amount of tabs have been loaded/opened. I don't use Auto Tab Discard myself since I prefer to be explicit about what tabs to unload but I think you could use both if you wanted to mostly handle tab unloading yourself but still have a maximum number of loaded tabs that you didn't want to exceed. You could also use Auto Tab Discard for only certain hostnames and use manual tab unloading for others. |
I enabled the integration, then set Auto Tab Discard to not change favicon of discarded tabs, then used Tab Unloader for Tree Style Tab to discard a tab. Result: a change of the favicon – it's dimmed. Do I misunderstand the feature of Auto Tab Discard? When change favicon of discarded tabs is enabled, what change does it attempt (if not dimming)? |
Thanks. I'm not sure what was wrong earlier in the week, but the combination of preferences does have a noticeable effect. ☑ Change favicon of discarded tabs (if possible) – and I see a change. |
This extension looks very useful, however it also mentions using Auto Tab Discard. What is the difference between this extension and ATD? What is the use case for using both extensions simultaneously?
This isn't an issue but a question, obviously, but I didn't know where else to ask it.
