Quick Tabs

The QuickTabs extension comes pre-installed with Ghost Browser and has some similarities to extensions like The Great Suspender or Tab Snooze. The difference is that it's specifically designed to improve load speed when switching between Workspaces.

To set your preference for the Quick Tabs extension

1. Click the Quick Tabs extension icon in the extensions bar.

2. Select the Quick Tabs setting that you want to use.

  • Load all tabs at once: This is how Ghost Browser would work without this extension. If you have a lot of tabs in a Workspace, they will load slowly as they are fighting for resources. This option is not recommended.
  • Load one at a time with priority given to active tab: This option opens the active tab first. This is the most productive option so it is the default.
  • Load once a tab is made active: This option keeps all tabs in a Workspace in 'snooze mode' until you make them active by clicking on the tab. This is a good option if you'd like to minimize resources that might be taken up by inactive tabs. This is especially helpful for users with systems that have lower RAM capacity.
  • Load once a tab has been made active and clicked: This option is like the one above, but displays the page title and URL. When you decide that page is the one you want, you can click anywhere on the page to load it.

3. Click anywhere off of the Quick Tabs menu to close it. Your settings have been saved.

4. That's it! QuickTabs will do the reset. You change your setting whenever you want and it will take affect the next time you switch Workspaces.

Why Can't I Disable Quick Tabs?

Quick Tabs is a custom extension designed specifically to improve load speed when switching Workspaces in Ghost Browser. Quick Tabs cannot be uninstalled or disabled as it's is an integral part of the functionality of the browser.
If you'd like to use Ghost Browser as though Quick Tabs was not installed, select the Load all tabs at once option in the Quick Tabs settings.
