🗑️❌ Stops Chrome from suspending tabs, and reloading them when you switch to them. 100,000+ users on Chrome Web Store.

Select which websites to discard or not

Just an idea.

Migrate to Manifest V3

Chrome has already stopped accepting new Manifest V2 Extensions on the web store, and will be phasing out V2 entirely next year. "Background Pages", as this extension currently uses, are being replaced by "Service Workers" instead. If this extension is not updated then we will no longer be able to use it come next year.

Chrome's documentation on migrating to V3: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/migrating/

Stopped working

Hello it hasn't been working anymore, hope you still can fix it :/

Is user interaction needed to make this extension work?

I loaded the extension, visited the Discards page, but unsure if we are supposed to make any changes or if this extension no longer works?
Commented on another open issue but it did not show an update on my end thus creating this issue.

Trying to stop 1 page from auto refreshing, Facebook, leave to research something I had seen there, come back to make informed comment, and the page refreshes and the post is lost...
Do we need to interact in some manner on the Discards page or should this extension be working without user interaction?
Likely some update to Chrome as 3 5 star reviews on Chrome store claiming it is working, no joy here...

Add Explicit License (Request)

Can you please add an explicit license / LICENSE file?

Thanks!

Tabs keep reloading on revisit even though Auto-discardable is disabled/crossed

Like the topic says :(

@WorldLanguages can you please verify this yourself?
