      Well, it's just one possible way to handle the problem you've created, there may be others. 🙂

      I created. Of cource.
      Thank for your "help".

        Yes, you. You were the one who decided that you had to have a bunch of tabs opened all the time.

          I have the same problem from opera version 46.

          I open by deafult three tabs, opera starts wery slow and lag a lot then. Every new tab take about 3-6 secont to event show starts to loading. Browsing is wery slow.

          All Other browsers works correctly (Chrome, Firefox, Vivaldy).

            when did you become a total jerk? could you simply say "because some other browsers have similar feature so we decide to make a different by remove the feature that other browsers copied from own browser"

            so please bring back lazy load for a few months, until edge is stable, firefox a bit better, and we have time to leave

              I don't make Opera nor work for them so I couldn't say such affirmation. 🙂

              There should be a few requests on it in Suggestions Box already, you can show your support there.

                How to make Opera 46 not to load all tabs to memory by default?

                Tiny Suspender - it preserves the icons while suspended

                Another alternative:

                Install 'Download Chrome Extension'
                https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/download-chrome-extension-9

                Install 'The Great Suspender'
                https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/the-great-suspender/klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg

                New tabs created after the install will be suspended automatically

                  Okay, so this is the problem I'm having. But judging by leocg's tone in this thread, no one cares (other than the apparent few that have encountered the problem) or thinks it deserves attention. Installing third party tools to fix problems in my browser isn't a viable option for me. I guess I'll go back to Google Chrome until v47.

                    What problem? Loading opened tabs is the expected behavior of a browser so I don't see a problem with it at all.

                    If opening pages are causing issues, it has nothing to do with the existence of the 'extended lazy loading' flag and should be discussed in a separated topic.

                    Installing third party tools to fix problems in my browser isn't a viable option for me.

                    You wouldn't be doing it to solve a problem but to add a feature.

                    I guess I'll go back to Google Chrome until v47.

                    Opera 47 will not bring back the 'extend lazy loading' flag, Opera 48 neither.

                    Like I said before, anyone can request a option to not load background tabs on startup in Suggestions Box.

                      Well, let me put it this way. I run multiple tabs at once on my browser ... like 10 of them. I had my browser set to load a single tab when I continue where I left off - the tab that comes up is the only one that loads. Background tabs never loaded unless I went to them. I loved this feature. But now my browser is loading all the tabs simultaneously. This indicates that there has been a change in the way the tab feature works. Unless you're telling me that Opera was never intended to work the way I have been using it, which I don't think is the case. Why has this option been removed? Or why is it not working?

                        It wasn't really removed because it wasn't really implemented. It was just an experiment that has ended and like the warning in opera://flags says:

                        "These experimental features may change, break, or disappear at any time."

                          Seriously? That feature was an experiment? For how many years? You know what, never mind. It's a standard feature in all other browsers, I fail to understand why it would not occur to Opera devs to make it available, so I won't beat a dead horse. Thank you for your responses, I appreciate it.

                            Everything in opera://flags is a experiment and either can be turned into something regular or just be removed.

                            In fact the default behavior of the extend lazy loading flag was the current one but some people used to disable it so background tabs wouldn't run until become active.

                            For how many years?

                            Years? I don't remember it had been running for so long. At least as an Opera flag.

                              I have been using Opera that way from the moment I installed it. I do that on any browser I use. Which is why I'm kinda confused. I used Opera for at least a year before I heard of Opera flags and experiment settings, which I came across while trying to figure out how to retain my settings. Trust me, if that feature had not been available on Opera, I would not be here now because it wouldn't have lasted a day on any of my machines.

                                Okay, so I've just found out the "extended lazy session" not working anymore.
                                It violates the main usability principle: the application needs to adapt, not the user.
                                I hate when it loads all the inactive tabs I don't need at this particular moment and clogs the RAM. Looks like shit. I have been using the Opera since 2004, I didn't quit it when they ruined Presto, but now... I guess, that's another reason to stop using Opera. I don't want to upgrade the system just to have the application working properly. Neither do I want to adapt to the rules it dictates.
                                Guys, don't feed this local jerk leocg who knows nothing about the usability and psychology of verbal communication, although he/she speaks a lot.

                                  Well I just googled Firefox and not loading background tabs is the default setting of the program.
                                  "When you restart Firefox and restore your previous session, Firefox will wait until you select a tab before loading it. This keeps Firefox running quickly and smoothly."
                                  https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/allow-firefox-load-multiple-tabs-background
                                  And they are right. So that's an option.

                                    Removing "extended lazy session" was the stupidest idea. Or not implementing it permanently if you so prefer.... On older machines using too much RAM is an obvious fault. But even on my gaming comp, where i would run a browser along with a high performance game it's eating up my RAM. Not to mention my friends case, where he has a limited net contract, and loading every currently unused tab each time he opens Opera is insane. And stupid suggestions like don't keep tabs open or don't run browser in the background or buy even more RAM are not helpful. Why would I have adapt to a program that is performing worse than it did before. I too have been using opera for 10 years or so, but it seems I have to look for an other browser, the can perform this really simple task of not loading background tabs.

                                          I have lazy on but it doesn't do anything. I think it's on hold while they trim tab hibernation to the polish. Tabs aren't hibernating either.

                                            It should delay the start of background pages loading.

                                            As far as I know, tab hibernation was removed a long time ago.
