    Do tabs get natively suspended (without a special extension), and if so, can that be stopped?

      It would be interesting to know how other Chromium based browsers behave in your system.

        Slow.....that is why I switched to Opera, which is lighter and faster, and is especially good for slow computers.

          I've found that, but now there is nothing about in flags to disable it.

          Maybe this extension helps at some point.

            Thanks, Zalex....but that is the one I listed above.

            Bottom line: if a suspender extension is activated, does its suspension activity preclude the native suspension activity, or is it in addition to the native suspension? If it is the former, I could set the suspender extension to suspend after a high number of minutes, which would effectively stop the tab suspension.

              But they do the same thing with tabs?

                Basically the same thing.....just slower with Chrome.

                  So it's probably a Chromium behavior. Or, maybe, just the system saving resources.

                    Correct....a slow computer, and because of that, I do not open many tabs, and because of that fact, the delay caused by the tabs reawakening is much more problematic than any slowdown caused by having too many tabs open, which is the specific problem tab hibernation is designed to solve. That is why I would like to eliminate tab hibernation as much as possible.

                    1. So again, it boils down to this: if a suspender extension is activated, does its suspension activity preclude the native suspension activity, or is it in addition to the native suspension? Do you know the answer to that?

                    If it is the former, I could set the suspender extension to suspend after a high number of minutes, which would effectively stop the tab suspension.

                    1. The last question: is there a way to raise the interval of time the system uses to initiate tab hibernation?

                      Don't know, sorry. But I would guess that it won't change the native one.
                      Also, if it's the system doing it, I'm not sure if an extension would help.

                        Then, I suppose you ask to not waste time testing the extension...

                        Seems that you may need to test for yourself, just read the Extension options if fits your needs and be patient. :rolleyes:
