Feature request: Always keep this tab

Thryduulf opened this issue · comments

I would like an option to always keep specific tabs, across multiple sessions, but to allow discarding of other tabs from the same website. For example I have a related changes feed open for a specific page in Wikipedia, and I don't want to discard that page (as it marks changes since my last visit when I reload, but not when the page reloads after being discarded) but I do want other Wikipedia tabs to discard as normal. Currently it is possible to achieve this by selecting "keep this tab for this session" but I have to do that every session (and as my browser sessions typical last a week I don't always remember).

would adding the exact wikipedia url into the exceptions settings work for your case?

However, it be nice to designate a specific tab or container to never auto discard

A workaround is to enable
Do not discard a tab when it is pinned
then you can pin that tab and it will stay pinned (and not discarded) across multiple sessions
