Fast hibernation
-
I open a link in a new tab and the previous tab gets immediately hibernated.
Can anybody explain the logic behind this? Let's say I have 10 tabs open. I clicked on a link in the 10th tab, the 11th tab opened and the 10th tab got immediately hibernated. Out of all the other tabs, exactly the 10th is hibernated, the one that I was just in. Can I change this behaviour?

@TbGbe are you a bot? your link does not answer my question even remotely

@Gwen-Dragon so you're saying I'm imagining things? they do get hibernated and I don't mind that they do. The question is how to change the overall behaviour? Why it's the recent tab that gets hibernated, not the oldest one? It's all good with //system and //flags.

You can type
vivaldi://discards/
into the address bar.This page may give you more information as to why a tab may have been discarded (hibernated).
There are different things that can prevent tabs from being discarded, but normally tabs are not discarded unless they really need to.
Maybe you have a system that is low on memory so the browser pre-emptively gets rid of tabs it thinks can be removed. If you have a lot of extensions installed and programs running this can use up memory.

@LonM thank you for vivaldi://discards/
I get that tabs are discarded for a reason. I just don't get why the recent tab, not the oldest. -
