<![CDATA[Snooze inactive tabs exceptions list needed]]>The feature itself is great, and it allows us to keep a lot of tabs open for later use without closing them. However, there is an annoying side effect that is severe enough to make me disable that feature for now:
I usually have GMail, and several messengers open, such as Hangouts and Duo... When you don't activate their tabs for a while, they snooze, and you won't receive any message notifications, or incoming calls, from them... It breaks any web app that has to be active in the background during normal operation...
There has to be a configurable exception list for such pages... It can be preloaded with known messenger and email services... Ideally, there should be an option when you right-click a tab - "Never snooze tab", to quickly add it to the list...

Using the 'disable tab snoozing' setting doesn't work!

All I want to say is that the feature will be usable only if it doesn't interfere with tabs that have to be always active in the background, such as messengers and mail clients...
Something like opera://discards, but the browser should remember the auto-discard setting per domain name... Right now, if you close the tab, and open it again, auto-discard is enabled by default...

Don't remember now if you can add exceptions.

You can also go to Opera://discards and disable it from there. In this case, you disable it temporarily.
