What is a Tab Suspender?
Many people often open tabs for websites they plan to visit later but never do. This can clutter their browser and slow it down.
Tab Suspender is a Chrome extension that can automatically suspend, hibernate or unload inactive tabs.
This means that tabs that you are not using will not consume processor resources or memory. As a result, your browser will run faster and smoother, and your device will use less battery and generate less heat.
How Does It Work?
This Chrome extension operates by monitoring your open tabs. When a tab remains inactive for a set period, it goes into suspension mode. You can adjust the suspension time in the extension’s settings.
Suspended tabs stay visible in your browser but don’t consume any resources. To bring one back to life, simply click on it.
The Tab Suspender is user-friendly and customizable. You can either set the time before it suspends tabs or allow the extension to determine it based on your browsing behaviour.
There is also an option to close tabs that are unused automatically or save them in history for future reference. Also, you can exclude tabs playing music or those that are pinned from suspension.
