When we talk about browser features, there’s plenty to go around. Each vendor comes with extras in an effort to sway clients their way.
Take Firefox for example. It has a nifty little option that allows you to not load tabs on until they’re actually active. Which means, that if you’re like me and usually hoard tabs, and never (almost) close them, when you open the browser only the first tab gets loaded, and the browser won’t eat half your RAM. That’s the single reason for having Firefox as my main browser.
I need Chrome to have this. My inner geek laughs at me, because as a developer I’m targeting Chrome first and foremost, but as a user, Chrome is number 2. I know there is an extension available which can do that, but for reasons I wouldn’t like to go into, I don’t like extensions.
So, dear Chrome team, please implement this!
