VebTabs you haven’t opened in a while#
Today’s tabs you haven’t looked at for 12 hours are closed together, as Arc does it. It happens when you come back to Veb, never while you read, and a notice says how many went, with Undo. ⇧⌘T also brings them back.
Pins, kept tabs and the tab on screen always stay, as does anything playing, on a call, downloading or floating. Choose the time, from 12 hours to a month or never, in Settings › Tabs › Close tabs you haven’t opened in.
Sleeping tabs#
When your Mac runs out of memory, not merely short of it, Veb frees memory: the heaviest idle page lets go first, one at a time, until macOS says it is enough. The tab keeps its place and history, and loads again where you left it when you click it. Tabs you looked at in the last ten minutes or heard in the last minute stay, and the last few tabs you went between go only after the rest.
Pins, kept tabs and sites you keep awake never sleep on their own, however short memory runs: only you put them to sleep, or a page that grows huge or gets stuck. The tab on screen, both halves of a split, calls, sound, floating video, pages still loading, downloads and unsent typing stay awake too. Right-click a tab, several tabs or a folder to put them to sleep yourself.
Sites kept awake#
Settings › Tabs › Always keep these sites awake lists the sites whose tabs never sleep on their own, even when memory runs out: WhatsApp, Slack, Gmail and others to start. Press Add Site… for another, or choose Always Keep … Awake in a tab’s right-click menu.
