I hope google, facebook, hacker news and other web sites would start shutting down at least half of their servers during the night. And, when I say night, I mean night anywhere on this platnet, not just night in some particular time zone. That would help.
Ok, forgive me if I'm missing some sarcasm here but... you realize that about half the planet is in darkness at any given time, right?
"This is serious. Though it never occurred on my computer because I use neither Windows nor Chrome but I support this anyway in the name of humanity." In the name of humanity, wouldn't it be nice if people were in the habit of shutting their computers down, rather than letting them burn through electricity all night long?
I run into similar situations whenever I restart my browser. All of the YouTube tabs I had open from before start playing simultaneously (at any given time I often have some tabs with videos paused, ready for me to watch later). It's quite distracting and takes some effort to find and stop them all. I think a good solution for both of our problems would be to not load any of the Flash content in a particular tab if t…
One sort-of-workaround is to enable plugin click-to-play. It's less convenient, but it has other advantages. It prevents Flash content from annoying you unexpectedly (such as on every band website ever). It also adds a small bit of safety if there's ever a 0-day for Flash. Instead of getting exploited as soon as you visit any infected page, you'd at least have to click on an embed that you wanted to watch or play. Un…
The biggest issue I have with Chrome restoring tabs is that it completely hogs my computer and internet connection while requesting, downloading and rendering all the pages. To solve it, I simply turn off wi-fi when restarting Chrome, so that all the tabs reopen, but are not reloaded. The URLs are restored, and I can reload them exactly when I want to.

Hello fellow tab addict! I must have about 30-40 tabs I restore every day out of laziness and fear of bookmarking and never reading again. Someone posted to HN an extension to help with this but I forget what it's called. Also Firefox has a nice solution to your problem in that it only loads the tabs once you click on them.

No, Firefox 'solves' this by giving it 'WONTFIX'. Lately, it seems sucking is a feature, not a bug. ;)
This is a indeed a feature . It is a boon for people living with low data speeds and/or limited-data plans. I can wait for 5 seconds for each tab to load, rather than all 10 tabs loading simultaneously and freezing the browser. It also gives me a chance to close off those tabs (without loading the page) which I don't need.

Firefox does something like this. It doesn't load tab content on restart until the tab gains focus.
