Why should i use this and not "Auto Tab Discard"?
This addon is more lightweight and far easier to use (configure), since it only
has 1 option (the amount of tabs to keep loaded) So all in all for people who
like their addons simple, small and to the point.
Usage/Features:
- change the max number of active tabs (default is 3) in the preferences
- use the toolbar button to exclude the current or all highlighted tabs from
unloading
Notes:
- Can/Should i trust this addon? You can view the source code by either
visiting the Homepage/Support Site or just saving/downloading the XPI (which
is really just a ZIP Archive) and then extract it locally. The Sources in
the XPI should be unofuscated and unminified (HTML,CSS and JS), so it's as
easy to read as possible. Alternatives you can also use the
CRX Viewer Extension by Rob W
to inspect the XPI sources. If you have an questions, you can also open an
issue on the support site and i'll try and answer to the best of my
abilities. If you are no programmer and are still feeling unsure, you might
want to visit one of the official or unoffical mozilla communities and ask
if someone there with more knowlege can take a look. Examples:
