Tab loading woes

[Oni Shinobi]

Hey there Hans,

In another thread here, I saw this line from someone:

"I do use a "lazy load" feature (it used to be an extension but I think I let Chrome handle it now, I'd have to check as it's been awhile since I set all this up). Session Buddy restores my session almost instantly, all tabs, but then the tab contents load in the background or as I click on them".

I use Session Buddy on Edge. My only real issue with the extension is that when I restore a session, it loads all my tabs as active tabs, loading all content on them. As I often have hundreds if not thousands of tabs open, this will crash my browser 90% of the time. The only way for me to load an old session is to try and load each window one-by-one, each window taking anywhere between 10 minutes to half an hour to load. One thing that helps is that Edge will put tabs to sleep during all of this as they've been unselected / not active for a couple of minutes, but still - why does Session Buddy load all tabs in Edge as if they're just been opened, rather than loading them in the background / in a sleeping state, as the other user describes in that quote? I believe that user was using Chrome.

Anyway, my request is this - please have SB load tabs from sessions in the background / in a sleeping state, just like other session managers I use for eg. Firefox do. That way, loading an old session should take at most a minute or two, rather than literally an hour+.

Thanks for your time and attention (and the addon)!

- Oni.

I'd like to give strong +1 to this. 

In Edge, if I load a saved session from SB with many tabs (which I always have for work), they all try to load at once. My 2020 M1 Macbook Pro can't even handle the processing, so attempting to use any other application is useless for several minutes. Plus tons of memory has been taken up by the newly loaded tabs. What I'm currently doing is loading the SB session, quitting the browser entirely, and restarting it. This way, Edge loads all tabs of the newly opened SB session in a sleeping state, and life is good : ) 

Would be great to not have to quit/re-open Edge in order to achieve this 👍
