"Don't load tabs until selected" in Chrome? (Like in Firefox?)

<< < (3/4) > >>

My kludge is in a usable form. It's more for those who work the opposite of multi-tab.  If you normally bring up your browser to a blank page this utility can open a collection of pages with adjustable delays:

Instead of wandering the wilderness looking for ways to drag deskCuts onto a Gui I took advantage of the fact most browsers let you drag the address bar icon from the start of the address onto the desktop to make a shortcut.

You hit the hotkey to gather all the deskCuts.  There's 2 modes of operation to launch.  See the thread in the link and the included Readme for details.

But as example, I just booted up.  No browser running.  I hit Alt-F10 then Enter and Chromium opened with DonationCoder Hotmail Vista Forums Windows Seven Forums open in tabs.

Nice! It doesn't really work with my way of browsing, but I'm sure it'll find its audience.  :up:

Thanks. Yeah, it's more for the "blank page" or "speed dial" crowd. One thing about Chromium, if you bring it up blank, even if the disk is quite busy it loads in snappy fashion.

I tend to play around too much with the snap shots though. After diddling around with a bunch of the 17.x versions I've gone back to trusty rusty Oct. 4 16.0.900.0. Just seems very solid and I haven't seen anything I want in 17.x

A bit off topic but have you noticed the Disable Hyperlink Auditing flag in about:flags ?? Apparently the next scheme for html5 is every time you click a link, a notice is sent to the tracking site.  Doesn't need tracking cookies anymore. It goes over in real time.

When I first noticed it I thought it was a ping to make sure the site existed before trying to load the page. Uh, not quite!!

the Firefox folks invented a Damn Cool Thing (TM): the "Don't load tabs until selected" option (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Session%20Restore):

I've been doing that for a while via about:config - I didnt realise that they had made it easier, thanks!

Fellow old thread: I'm here from the future to save you.

Finally just found an extension to primitively do what we've all been looking for.

This page explains how to install it (for some reason it's not hosted on the extension store):
