    How do I reduce tabs in Chrome but save the sites for later reference


    You can see 4 tabs in screenshot with one active where the green arrow is pointing. The others three tabs are open but hibernated and do not use any memory as shown by Vivaldi (Chrome) Task Manager. Only the active tab shows as in the red box. The other three tabs will appear in task manager if clicked on then they will use memory.

    I guess what threw me is that you started off by saying "I find this interesting." Those words made me think that what you saw was unexpected. My understanding is that is what Vivaldi does. Is my understanding correct? Thank you.

    Correct. It was something new to me. I didn't know about hibernating tabs with zero memory usage previously. I had assumed that even with tabs hibernated that there would be some memory usage.

    How do I reduce tabs in Chrome but save the sites for later reference

    Weird thing is, I can't get it to work in all forks of Chromium!
    It must have something to do with the default browser or the Chrome profile, or other!

    In Dev Chromium, I have to discard tabs manually at chrome://discards/

    Please let me know if you figure this one out as I'm interested in this option. I'd pursue it my self except that I can't due to a physical pain which is infringing on my computer time.

    All the info is there in the screenshot that Edwin posted.

    You just open a new tab and type chrome://discards

    In the open window discard any tabs where you want to stop them from using memory. They will reload if you click on the tab.

    Cent Browser has an option to purge memory of idle/unfocused tabs at intervals...

    I installed The Great Suspender while the new Chrome Task Manager was running. Now I seem to have lost many (or all) of my tabs. How do I uninstall the Task Manager (Vivaldi, I think) so I can individually try The Great Suspender and Cent Browser? Also, how do I retrieve my missing tabs? Thank you...

    Edit: I uninstalled Vivaldi Task Manager. Now I have The Great Suspender running. I had suspended all my tabs as an experiment - but, now, I clicked on Unsuspend All Tabs but they don't reappear. Can you tell me how to retrieve them, please?

    Vivaldi Task Manager is built into Vivaldi Browser - it's not for Chrome.
    Well I've never tried to suspend all tabs. I would leave one running at least.

    Anyway try session management that should enable you to restore tabs from current or previous session.

    Click Icon > Settings > Session Management > Reload

    As for individual suspended tabs. They should still be visible and reload when clicked on.

    Configure settings to your own preference. I disabled auto suspend.

    You should be able to install Cent browser without uninstalling anything and it should work but you could just use and test the portable version.

    I've never used it myself.

    Here's what I see. Explanation. All tabs suspended - can restore tab via clicking on it or right click on page and use context menu option. Use session management to restore session with all tabs active.

    I seem to have lost most of my tabs. Under "Recent Sessions", there is nothing to reload. Can you help?

    Yes - I didn't post it like that.

    Try Ctrl+Shift+T to restore tabs.
