IE : Any way to prevent tabs from ALL loading ??
I wanted to finally switch back from Firefox to IE after many years, simply because IE supposedly is much better now than before, and have been having continuus speed issues with Firefox...
I Always used FF for the ability to have a Multi-tabbed session reload on start-up fairly efficiently.
But because of the speed issues SINCE the latest 700,000 updates from FF, I decided to finally go back to IE...pls don't propose Chrome. Been there done that and utterly hate it. Shouldn't even be called a browser.
So I re-installed IE, and setup the add-ons and options to my needs...one thing possitive: it is FASTER than Firefox, straight out of the box.
BUT...
Only to notice quickly that in IE, there seems to STILL be no way to prevent tabs from loading on startup ???
That effectively makes the whole "tabbed-browsing" experience useless. If you reload a Multi-tabbed session, ALL tabs load in the background, and if any streams or videos/songs are in those tabs, they all start to play and one has to shut them off tab by tab...
In FF there is a simple checkbox to prevent such needless behavior, and loads tabs only when you click them.
Even searching the web, NOBODY EVER asked this question in any forum regarding Internet Explorer. For every other browser, that option has been asked for, made available, and discussed for a VERY long time now,...yet nobody ever discussed it regarding Internet Explorer... which completely BAFFLED me ! All other browsers allready found this option to be neccesary long ago, and implemented it long ago...yet at MS's corner, there is not a single mention of it. Nowhere.
IS there really nobody that would want that option in IE ? I don't get it.
