I think an awesome and convenient feature would be a Manual snoozing of tabs, right-click the tab and select snooze, if you know you wont use or visit a tab in a while, it wont use up any resources pointlessly.

• agree; i cant up-vote but there is +1 from me, this feature is just what opera's one missing feature (for me) and my life would be complete
  (and a fix of "at start-up tabs goes to workspace1" but this is a other subject)

• fact 1: tab + "snoozing", "sleep", "unload", etc is actually called "tab discard" (for chromium)

• fact 2: there is actually "best auto/manuel tab-unloading" feature that being with ram-limit for opera just not like any-other browsers so ram limit makes "auto unload tabs" but its actually too functional;

• this function is output of optimistic abusing ram-limit

• why ram-limit?; network-limit doesnt functions and causes low speed, cpu-limit functions but causes freezes on opera, so ram-limit work greatly without any downsides

• why this function doesnt well known?; this function only starts when a bit time passes with setting ram/cpu-limit to minimum

• does what?; after some time passes with minimum ram-limit, opera starts to slowly discard all tabs until right'in-tab (tab that are we in to use) lefts and after that even changing tabs only right-in tab is not discards and passed tabs are gets immediately discard, i call this with one-tab mode

• one-tab mode usage; literally surfing only on right'in-tabs so usefull for extremely friendly-resource'usage (also means best resource usage for a browser :D)

• but the-main is starts now; when disabling ram-limit one-tab mode stops but when re-activing it opera immediately discards all tabs expect right'in-tab so there is manuel tab discarding

• but i also want to talk of ram-limit's real usage, does what?; after one-tab mode actived setting ram-limit to spesific amount opera starts to keep open only specific amount of tabs that doesnt more than setted ram-limit with discarding one tab when every time going to new right'in-tab, i call this with "dynamic-tabs mode"

• dynamic-tabs mode usage; usefull for when wanting only keep open certain amount of tabs

• alternatives: ther is no alternative of "auto tab discard" like how opera does but manuels are here;

• firefox based browsers has "unload tab" with right click to tab and obviously firefox based the zen has "unload space" also "unload all other spaces"

• interestingly (for me because i didnt know chromium even can have manuel tab discard) ungoogled-chromium based the helium has "hibernate" for tab ~~but sadly not any for opera...~

For now, you can goto the URL opera://discards in a new tab and snooze/discard the tabs you want.

@iop5 Freeze means to pause the tab's activity, but keep it open and loaded in RAM.

Urgent means to immediately unload all of the tab's content.

Proactive means Chrome will unload all of the tab's content when needed due to memory pressure.

If you're opening opera://discards, you usually want "urgent".
