Tab unload is neat I guess but it would be nice if it also prevented the tab from loading until you go to it. I often open a bunch of YouTube links in a row, to catch up on my daily channels. So I have 4-8gb of useless browser tabs sitting waiting for me to get to them because I started on my subscriptions page and middle-clicked the last day’s or so worth of videos. It’s not much more work to finish that step and add an extra step to unload all those newly opened tabs, but it would be a nice option to not load new tabs until they’re activated since they already open in the background.
Maybe there’s a config for it somewhere.
Something like this maybe?
