Why should i use this and not "Auto Tab Discard"? This addon is more lightweight and far easier to use (configure), since it only has 1 option (the amount of tabs to keep loaded) So all in all for people who like their addons simple, small and to the point.

Usage/Features:

  1. change the max number of active tabs (default is 3) in the preferences

It's nice but very annoying when music playing in background suddenly stops because tab was unloaded.
