Thanks Martin Brinkmann and Saltyman, for addressing main question. A feature like this should be built-in the browser in my opinion. You will notice that Chrome will start faster, and that memory use is way lower. Native Lazy Load is a useful browser extension for all Chrome users who have configured Chrome to load the previous browsing session on start. While Chrome's interface is displayed in about the same time, you will notice that the loading of tabs slows down the browser significantly until all sites have been loaded. About 30 or so extra tabs are loaded, and Chrome's memory use is roughly three times as high right on start. The screenshot of the task manager above shows Chrome's memory use and the tabs that are open in the browser with Native Lazy Tabs enabled.īelow is a screenshot of the same Chrome session with Native Lazy Tabs disabled. You can check this in the Chrome Task Manager, where you will only see the active tab loaded on start, whereas you'd see all sites open in tabs loaded without the extension.
