Extension Usage Instructions
New Features
Discard all tabs at startup
Prevents Chrome from loading all your tabs at startup, while preserving the tabs in your last session.
Discard eligible tabs
Same as "Discard other tabs" but observes the current auto-discard settings, like skipping Pinned and Audio tabs.
Link to Chrome Discards page
Adds a link on the context and popup menus to launch the built-in chrome://discards/ page.
Discarding a tab does not close or remove or delete the tab. It's a feature of Chrome that simply frees up resources and memory that the tab is using. Discarding tabs should let Chrome run faster while consuming less memory.
