Re: Google Kills the Great Tab Suspender
#2After the HN post about this last week I switched to Auto Tab Discard [0] based on other people's suggestions and it's been perfect for my needs. I hate to lose the Great Tab Suspender if only because I liked the UI/character/branding but other than that I haven't noticed any differences or issues since moving to ATD.

It is in Chrome. They just do it automatically. There's an extension called Auto Tab Discard if you want manual control over when it discards them.

Suspend is different from discard.
Chrome intentionally doesn't support fine-tuning behavior, except via extensions.

It's built into the Chromium based Edge which is actually a great browser in many other respects as well. Particularly fond of how easy it is to install any arbitrary web app as its own dock/taskbar icon at my own choosing vs the wall of prereqs [0] Chrome puts up before allowing the same.
