If a tab is unused for a long time, it switches to a light holding page until the tab is focused again. This helps the browser to recover memory, and can speed up the re-opening of large sessions.
< Обсуждения Hibernate Idle Tabs
Hi Андрей, I have stopped using this script.
These days I recommend using The Great Suspender Chrome extension instead, which has almost exactly the same behaviour:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/the-great-suspender/klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg
If that extension does not suit you, perhaps you can explain what is wrong the the HibernateIdleTabs script at the moment?
Is the problem that the HTML page is down? You could try changing this code:
var holdingPage = "https://www.google.com/hibernated_tab";
and let me know if that works better. ;-)
Truthfully, I don't use either of those scripts now.
Now I use the Tab Wrangler Chrome extension:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tab-wrangler/egnjhciaieeiiohknchakcodbpgjnchh
Instead of "hibernating" the tab, this one will actually close idle tabs and put them into a stack/queue which you can open later.
That keeps the number of tabs in my browser low, which makes my PC faster!
It really depends whether you prefer to manually or automatically close idle tabs.
Another option is the One Tab extension which you can manually click to archive your whole session in one go. That didn't work for me, but it might work for you.

Or for manual session management, Fresh Start is pretty good, but personally I rarely want to handle my sessions manually.

Thanks. Using Great Suspender. But you can change page is script to shown mean "var holdingPage = "https://www.google.com/hibernated_tab";" may be some freek will use it.
I thought about Tab Wrangler, but scary :). Have you some new help by using browser? Or for comp :)
I don't like google app :(. I don't know why. I don't belive them :)
I have set the holding page back to the google page, to get the script working again. But if you don't believe in Google, then that's probably not the best URL to target!
If I get my old webserver up and running again, I should put a nice simple holding page on there. (Because obviously I am more trustworthy than Google...)
I found TabWrangler to be fine. It only started dropping the oldest tabs when I had 500 in the archive. And if I have 500 unread tabs, I should admit that there was very little chance that I would ever get around to reading the 501th oldest!
About other browsers, Firefox is pretty good with default settings. If you open a Firefox session with 100 tabs, it won't actually load the 99 other pages until you focus on them. So I think a hibernation plugin for Firefox is less needed.
can you update and make modernize?
