Auto suspend newly-opened links when more than X unsuspended tabs already open

[quenz]

This option would be for people who have a bad habit of having too many tabs open.

Turning this option on would make it so that every time you open a link in a new tab, it would automatically be suspended until you close say 2 already-open tabs, until you got the tab count down to reasonable (user defined) number.

Something similar has already been requested: #136
Although I suspect you are asking for the opposite of this. Instead of suspending the oldest tab when you open a new one, you want to keep the oldest tabs unsuspended.

I think this is fundamentally opposed to how The Great Suspender works. It automatically suspends tabs that haven't been accessed for a long time. These are precisely the tabs you are proposing to keep unsuspended.

You may also be interested in another feature that is already implemented: #228
This allows you to right-click on a link and choose 'open link in new suspended tab'.

Alternatively, there is another feature request to force ALL tabs opened in a new tab to be suspended automatically (not implemented): #655

you can simply treat newly created tabs that have never been visited as if they had been visited a near-infinite time ago, to make them fit the "suspend the oldest first" rule.

fwiw, Tab Mix Plus has an equivalent option "[ ] don't load tabs until selected when you open more than [...] tabs", and i kinda miss that.
