      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 !

            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?
