Auto hibernate inactive tabs

Yes this is working, I meant the hibernation time setting. -
@mib2berlin I hope Vivaldi will expose that setting. I'm glad hibernation is working but don't feel happy having no idea how long for it is.

To Enabled, Restart.Then in

You're welcome

Interestingly, the performance settings seem to live in
Local State
, meaning they are active for all profiles.
Probably because they are still linked to the experimental flag being set.For those brave enough, you can "fine-tune" the value in the JSON directly:
"performance_tuning": { "high_efficiency_mode": { "state": 2, "time_before_discard_in_minutes": 1 } },

This memory management system is working really well. Previously after using Vivaldi for some length of time memory and CPU usage would go way up and choosing hibernate background tabs wouldn't free up all the memory back to the way it was just after a restart. But using these flags, and a short hibernate setting, memory usage just doesn't grow. CPU usage is particularly low. I'm not sure why hibernate background tabs can't free up all the memory that was used but setting these flags prevents memory gobbling up before it even happens. I hope before too long Vivaldi exposes these settings within its settings section because that will make it so much easier for people to discover and use.

Hi, memory is one thing but CPU usage should not rise up using Vivaldi over time.
Vivaldi use 0% CPU after days of usage if it is idle, if it use more and more CPU something is wrong.Cheers, mib

Thanks. I'm not sure what I was observing but CPU usage now is extremely low. In my case I can't see it go to zero but I'm seeing 0.07 at times. Obviously it fluctuates even at idle. I do have four windows open with many workspaces containing many tabs.

Does this auto-hibernating feature also hibernate tabs that are currently playing media? I haven't bothered to test it yet, maybe some of you have any experiences about it. If so, is there a way to prevent hibernating tabs that are playing media?
Thanks!
