@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.

@Gwen-Dragon said in Help! Settings go back to the default every time I reboot my computer,,:

Disable Quickstart/Hibernation

Problem solved! I really appreciate your help😇

@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 😛

Hi, I am sorry, it was on a news page but I forgot where.

Cheers, mib

@mib2berlin I think I solved it with Hadden89's comment, but I'll keep an eye on this.

Thank you all so much for your help 🙂

@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.

Hi,

You could try https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tab-suspender-memory-save/ghklhojdnolaljfmaappofimepjeapih disabling integrated Hibernation engine until the feature will be considered.
