Lazy loading

So still no way to disable this? I mean, it's not a dealbreaker for me, but it would still be nice to have an option.

Hi!
It has been a very nice experience so far with Vivaldi (came and went a couple times throught the beta), but you really need to address this issue.
I really appreciate the effort made to improving the experience of those with limited resources (either PCs or broadbands) but I have a beast of a connection (300Mbps DW/UP) and a beast of a PC (i7, 16GB RAM,…). I would bet many are in a similar situation.
Since it's chromium's default to load background tabs (and please correct me if something has changed and I'm wrong), I really believe it wouldn't that hard to implement a switch for turning this option on. There is already extreme customizability.
Btw, just joined the forums to create this topic, awesome community from what it'm seeing, hi everyone!
PS: I believe something similar would apply to this therad, but I'd rather post in just one topic:

Have Vivaldi devs even spoke about this? Any mentions? Anything?
This tab behavior annoys me to no end.
-
I pin tabs. But it doesn't bother me that they hibernate. I prefer it.
-
So that I can always go to the same place for them, without having to open a new tab or disturb my tab order, and so that I don't accidentally delete one. Of course, after I have used one, it tends to stay live, so that saves a second or two on future uses, but it's not a question of speed for me. It's a question of convenience.

@RRR13:
I have the same problem with lazy loading. Actually, it's worse. I always have 2-3 mail accounts (depends on which machine I am at the moment), digg reader, WhatsApp web, and some other crap pinned. The other crap doesn't matter, but 4-5 of the first pinned tabs have notifications and MUST always work Ing the background, so it is essential that they load on startup. I currently have to manually go through each of them and activate them so they start working properly every time I start Vivaldi.
Yes, I second that this shouldn't be in effect for pinned tabs of all things. Those are pinned for a reason. We certainly should have options for all tabs, but at the very least, load pinned tabs.

Still no update on this I see… this and the keyboard shortcuts overriding websites issues are the only reasons I haven't switched my main browser to Vivaldi.

Who was the person who thought that not having an option to disable this was a good idea? Must be retarded.

I think that would be better to learn some good manners before subscribing any forum.

Same request from my side - this "lazy tab" behavior is driving me crazy coming from O12.17 where the engine nicely reloaded all tabs in the background on browser restart. One click on a tab -> instantly ready with reloaded content. That's what I want for Vivaldi as well!!! Any ideas?
-
90% of Vivaldi use is reloading pages… XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
What a bunch of noobs, i don't know who the fuck developes such thing and don't notice the lack of an option to turn this retard thing off.
-
I too would like an option to disable lazy loading. Makes somewhat sense on a hardware resource limited system, but for those of us "in the land of plenty" aka power users, it's definitely not a good feature.
-
When 1.5 is stable, it will be released. As 1.5.

@gordon.daimler said in Lazy loading:
What does this feature exactly do?
Yes, I also would like to know what exactly the intended behavior of the checkbox "Lazy load restored tabs" is.
Similar and related, I'm not sure if I understand exactly what the "hibernate" property of single tabs is doing.I have Lazy tabs enabled and some tabs (i think) on hibernating and I'm happy to get a very similar experience as in O17 but especially the hibernating feature is a bit obscure since I can not check if a tab actually is set to hibernate or not.

When you start the browser, it restores your old tabs (if set to start with last session). If you set to "Lazy load," it starts faster, because it does not try to fetch any of your old tabs other than the last one you had open. If you don't set that, it loads all tabs on startup. Makes startup slower, and uses more resources, BUT content is already present on each tab you click.
If you "Hibernate" a tab or tabs, that tab ceases to try to fetch or reload anything in the background. It becomes more like a bookmark for the address it is on and only activates when you select it.

Thanks, so what I understand from your explanation is that - no matter if lazy tab and/or hibernate is activated - at the latest when I click on an old tab this tab will refresh to the actual content of the website, right?
Fortunately this is not what I experience with Vivaldi lately. I prefer - at least with a certain number of tabs - that when I activate a tab again (even across closing the browser) I see the content as it was when I put the tab out of sight. Only after pressing "Reload current page" the old content will be updated.
While I believe that depending on the webpage this behavior can not be guaranteed by the browser I think and hope that "hibernating" gives me this as much as possible.
But what puzzles me is that turning on and off hibernating and especially checking if a tab it set to hibernate or not seems not possible.
Why is it not possible to put the currently active tab to "hibernate"? Why do I need to activate another tab so that I can right click the then inactive tab to get the menu item "Hibernate Tab"?
As soon as tabs are stacked "Hibernation" gets even more ambiguous. -
@gordon.daimler - My pinned tabs don' load until I click them. Then they load a current version. If I turn off lazy loading, they load current. But then, none of my pinned tabs are static pages. With lazy loading on, ALL of my static page tabs load cached versions when I open them.
