[Request] Giving an option to unload unused tabs

Hi,
Why I want this feature:
I always save a lot of tabs for later viewing, mostly youtube tabs.
Most of the time I won't watch these later, but I m planning to, and maybe sometime I will.
Point is I have hundreds of tabs open which lags my computer quite a bit, to the point where using the browser while playing games is just not an option anymore as it makes the game lag to much.
While limiting ram and cpu is an option it also makes the browser lag, especially since i dont have too much ram, so doing so while watching something in the background makes it extremely laggy.
The feature:
My idea is, an option that makes tabs just straight up not load until you click on them, so that it doesnt use ram or cpu, so tabs are basically just a fancy bookmark that only opens the website once you click on them.
Of course this option would be hidden in the options menu and turned off by default, as it would greatly increase load times by only loading once you click on the tabs.
Why I think it would fit into the browser:
I think this option would fit nicely into the intentions of the browser, of course not everyone has as many tabs as me, but even if you only have like 5 tabs which you would like to check out later, it would still be useful to watch netflix in the background while gaming and just remove that little bit of extra usage by the other tabs.
So you dont have to worry about any tabs, except for the one you are actively watching, impacting your gaming experience.
