Check out The Great Suspender [1] - not quite what you mean, but it basically unloads the tab and replaces it with a bare bones placeholder after it's been inactive for a bit. When you come back to it, you just click the link and it reloads the url that it had. Super handy if you're in the habit of leaving a few windows with a few dozen tabs each laying around, as I do.

- joe_the_user 10y agoYeah no, That just replaces the page with blank placeholder. How hard would it be to replace the page with an image of it's contents? I was thinking about a plugin.
- aeontech 10y agoIn my case, that would frequently be 200+ images in the background tabs. Not as cheap as a blank page. For me, the title, favicon and URL are plenty to identify the page, I think it's a good tradeoff.
- jplayer01 10y agoJust curious - I wonder why this hasn't been updated since 2015.
- aeontech 10y agoI suspect the development is now suspended (heh) in favor of The Great Discarder [1], which uses Chrome's new "discard" api's for improved performance.
