Tab Suspender (memory saver)

Download extension

Automatically suspend (hibernate) inactive tabs to free up system resourcesTab Suspender extension automatically unload (kill/hibernate) inactive tabs. This action can free up your browser memory usage.

When there are too many open tabs, your browser needs to keep their data in memory; besides, background scripts are always running. Using this extension you can define a custom time-period for inactive tabs to go to hibernate state and hence do no use memory or any kind of resources at all.

1. Do not suspend pinned tabs
2. Do not suspend tabs that contain unsaved form inputs
3. Only auto-suspend if connected to the internet
4. Only auto-suspend if running on battery (if battery API is available)
5. Automatically unsuspend when tab gains focus
6. Open a new tab in suspend mode
