@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

Vivaldi 6.7 is released, with the ability to auto hibernate tabs after a period of inactivity. One of the options allows you to disable it completely

(this is the second time I'm typing this as Vivaldi pulled the whole system in an unresponsive "freeze" (first Vivaldi, then the explorer, the rest))

Lazy load is on, always has been. I've been noticing slowdowns ever since I opened a third Vivaldi window. First with Tab Suspender still on I noticed that the PC coming out of sleep mode wasn't immediately ready to go. Now without Tab Suspender, well I already mentioned the whole system becoming unresponsive. Before that pages not really loading or taking minutes to do so. Lots of weird behavior. Maybe Vivaldi isn't all that good at handling multiple windows especially when one or more are filled with a great many tabs?

I just had to do a hard reset (button) to get things working again. I noticed the edge of the screen turning red. That was part of this LG app for controlling your screen. The only new thing I installed recently so just in case I removed that (don't really need it, those settings can also be accessed though the screen itself).

Guess I'll have to see how things'll go for a wile.

Vivaldi 6.7 is released, with the ability to auto hibernate tabs after a period of inactivity - you can set this to a low time period

Very good alternative
