When you start Chrome it will load all tabs - very annoying and resource intensive if you’ve got lots of them.
To prevent this, install the FooTab extension. You’ll have to do this manually:
- Download FooTab from http://sourceforge.net/projects/footab/ via Files -> FooTab.crx.
- For pros: Unzip the FooTab.crx file and make sure it isn’t doing anything dodgy (it all looked fine when I checked).
- Open the Chrome extensions page via Customise (spanner icon) -> Settings -> Extensions.
- Drag the FooTab.crx file to the extensions page to install it.
Now when you restart Chrome the tabs should only load when you click on them.
