Hilariously, Opera itself used to have this! I think it was one of the first browsers that had this :)

(at least that's what I remember from back in the day, maybe my memory is deceiving me)

Well, the new Opera already had an option to load tabs on demand when you switch to it after starting up. I guess now they're adding an option to load them in the background. In terms of performance the load tab on demand works reasonably well.

Are you thinking of cooperative scheduling? If so, Presto did pioneer this.
