Load Background Tabs on Select

prevents tabs which are opend in the background from loading until they have been manually activated once

The inital reason to creating this addon, was so i could "CTRL+Click" on one of my bookmark folders which contain (quite a few) bookmarks and the containing bookmarks would open without the browser freezing or becoming unresponsive, because i am sure my PC is a actually a potato in disguise.

Since i could not find any other addon ( for example: "LoadTabOnSelect" , "LoadTabOnSelect Evolution" or "LoadTabOnSelect 3") which seem to be able to handle it, i decided to (thanos voice:) ... Fine, I do it myself.

Actually i wrote 2 addons, one which sequentializes the loading (loads one tab at a time) and this one, which prevents the loading entirely until the user selects (aka. activates) the tabs. Pick whichever you like.

Usage:

  1. install the add-on
  2. Open background tabs (for example via CTRL+Left Mouse Button)
