I totally agree with you

@dannyswift Chrome should automatically hibernate extensions if they're not in use, except for "persistent" background extensions. As for your request, you can set this behaviour yourself: Go to vivaldi://extensions Find an extension you want to limit to work on click only click "details" Scroll until you find the "Site access" choice: defd6452-08c5-4679-9c25-65150aeaa9cb-image.png Set it to "on click" Then, that extension will only activate when you click it's button.

I'd like this feature too; I inadvertently made a dup topic about this a few days ago. I've got a folder of about 40 webcomics that I open on a daily basis, and Vivaldi stalls on me for about 20 seconds while it opens up the tabs.

@LonM Ayyy, thank you very much! Works as I envisioned! ❤ I doubt it's the very best way to do it, but if anyone is interested in a simple auto-hibernation for new background tabs, here's what I got in background.js: chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(function (tabId,info,tab) { if (!(/"read":true/.test(tab.extData))&&tab.title!=""&&!(/^http/.test(tab.title))) chrome.tabs.query({active: true, currentWindow: true},function(tabs) { if(tabs[0].id!=tabId) chrome.tabs.discard(tabId); }); }); Interestingly, tab.url is always present, but if you hibernate the tab right away, it will stay empty on wakeup, so I check the title instead, and to make it more user-friendly, wait for it to display the actual title of the page, not just url, as it does at first. :3 Thanks again! Edit, right away: There still seems to be a window of time when the page becomes unresponsive, so it will need more work. If you can read this, I still wasn't motivated enough to fix it 😛

Just for google or forum researchers/newbies I found how to achieve this in present Vivaldi with slightly more job to do. Click the tab furthest on the left. Then press (and hold) >shift< key on keyboard. Then click tab furthest on the right. Release shift. Right click on any of the tabs -> choose option hibernate >x tabs< where x is the number of cards selected. Done 🙂 BTW This option is limited in usability because it does not allows to >unhibernate< whole window in the same way you hibernate it. So it is still feature request. It is why the simplest solution to my problem was just to buy additional 16 GB of RAM and/or unfortunately use (time consuming) saving and opening sessions more extensively.

@h4m5ter Hi, I am sorry, it was on a news page but I forgot where. Cheers, mib

@djaddo It is the same thing I am thinking of publishing. It would be a good idea for inactive tabs to hibernate, no matter if audio is playing, except for the tab the user is currently on.

I support this. For some reason, I'm unable to install the desktop messenger app, and if it weren't for my phone, I would completely miss every messenger messages I receive, because it it always hibernating unless I AFK on it. Something I generally don't do. I used to be able to rely on the pinned tabs never going into hibernation for all of my important services. But now, I can't even do that. Please bring this feature back.

@dannyswift Please vote for the existing request: Speed Dial Open All in Tiled Tab Stack If you use sessions, they can include tab-stacks and/or tiled tab groups. You will still have to right-click to hibernate the tab stack

@dude99 Not default at default 🙂 but it should be an option to switch on this behavior as default in Vivaldi Settings for those who have limited hardware resources or just use browser such it is prefered behavior. I personaly prefer loading pages at startup because I have powerful hardware and don't want waste my time on waiting pages to load after clicking on them.

@megamorphg said in Skip Hibernated Tabs when Cycling until Click Activation: Currently only Sidebery of Firefox can skip hibernated/suspended tabs and also grouped tabs No, also FF's TreeStyleTab AddOn can do this. Vivaldi really roooooly needs TST/Sidebery functionality.
