Unload tabs from a workspace if it is not used for a while

Hello,
would it be possible to add a simple option button to unload the tabs of unused workspace.
The idea would be just that the page in question would reload only when you open their workspace!
This would be really useful for me who can have several twenty tabs per workspace...
And I'm sure I'm not the only one in this case! It's really a shame to lose ram in tabs that we don't need at the moment, especially since reloading the pages is not long.

And again this could be activated with a simple switch, allowing users the choice of speed or economy of performance. (and even battery life if on laptop)

Thanks a lot !

Nevermind, i've made a custom Addon for this. Works really well, divide by 3 my ram usage lol.
Will see if i post it on the store, never did it so don't really know how to, i have to take some time.

Hey !
I just published it, I'll ping you when it's available because it's waiting for moderation! The name of the addon is "workspace-suspender".

Have a good day

@zehel-fenris Hey!
I'd love to see this published but so far it hasn't. Apparently the moderation of opera addons can take a long time, I've seen devs complaining that after a year of waiting the addon was still not moderated...
Maybe I could make it available on the google chrome store to go faster?

@baudrim Any way you can put this on github so we can use it while Opera has their head up their asses?

@kilrain @zehel-fenris @Azure08 Sorry it's been a while since I've been on the opera forums but I remembered today when I got an email from opera saying that my addon had been published!
