<![CDATA[[Solved]"Delay loading of background tabs" stopped working]]>It must have changed very recently.

Before, if I opened YouTube links in background tabs, they didn't load until I clicked them.

Now they all load/play immediately.

The second one remained standing until I opened the tab.

I need to correct myself, tabs will indeed still not auto-load if I manually open them in the background.

But they will auto-load/play if I let the website/script open them.

You can try it here at http://text2url.wz.sk (allowing "pop-ups" from this address) with pasting couple of YouTube urls in the box and using "Otvoriť všetky" (Open all).

I randomly tested some <60 version, (58.0.3135.90) and it works as expected there (only active tab will load/play, when opened this way).

I am not sure what changed and when.

If someone can point me to an exact version, changelog entry or setting to alter this behavior, pls do.

Thanks
