about:blank instead of tabs

[Mornon]

I'm trying Sloth on Chrome 66.0.3359.117, but when I opened it all my tabs went about:blank - Chrome didn't load them, but the original adddress was lost.

That is unlikely to be caused by sloth though. The code in sloth is simple.. it just marks each tab as inactive. It could be another extension or some bug in Chrome itself.

I will leave this issue open for now, to collect more feedback.

I tried disabling all extensions beside Sloth and it still happened; not sure if it's a Chrome bug or what else.

@Mornon Nobody else has confirmed this bug yet. Is it still happening for you? And if yes, then can you check whether disabling Sloth stops the problem?

I just tried with a brand new profile - no settings, no extensions, just a new profile, and it still does happen, also if just for pinned tabs: I pinned a tab, when I reopened Chrome it was blank; disabling Sloth let the tab load normally.

So, I think it's not a sloth bug, then. Thanks for testing.

For pinned tab, please follow #9

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear: I used a new profile with no extensions but Sloth: I did installed it, and the pinned tab went blank; if I disabled it, the pinned tab worked normally.

A new profile with no extensions at all, not even Sloth, loaded tabs without any issue.

Gotcha; re-opening the issue.

Please describe your chrome version and OS version, since this is not happening for other users.

I did a bit more testing: it does happen on both pinned and not pinned tabs, it just loads the current tab (so in my previous test it worked on the unpinnd tab because it was the only one). The tab that starts selected gets loaded, the others are just about:blank.

Strange thing, it did not happen with https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/Sloth?_category=extensions - this page gets loaded also if not selected, so it didn't get turned to blank, but it also didn't get lazy loaded, it just loads normally. No idea why.
