What is the difference with "Tab Unloader"? about auto-tab-discard

[motin]

I was wondering the same. So far I have seen the following differences, which made me choose Auto Tab Discard over Tab Unloader:

• Tab Unloader is only for Firefox. Auto Tab Discard has a Chrome version too
• Auto Tab Discard has a great approach to issue reporting, feature requests and access to source code (Github)

Good point for Tab Unloader, you shouldn't encourage the Google's (big)browser.

So, I tested both and I think Tab Unload is better in term of UX and they both use the native API for tab unload. Perhaps I'm missing something.

Also

• Tab Unloader WE - doesn't updated over 5 months.
• Tab Unloader WE - still haven't fixed the same bug #24

I think this issue can be closed.

Now with have https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dormancy/ also...

I think the readme decently (already) states the value-add:
https://github.com/rNeomy/auto-tab-discard/blob/master/README.md

This extension is more efficient and should be less buggy compared to the alternatives extensions that use DOM replacement method.

+1 to closing this issue.

For me the most significant difference is that Tab Unloader does not have a support site.
