Smart Tab Suspender automatically suspends tabs you haven't used in a while, freeing up memory without closing them. Click back on a suspended tab and it instantly reloads.
Key features: - Auto-suspend after configurable idle time - Whitelist for important tabs - Manual suspend/unsuspend options - No data collection or tracking
On my machine with 50+ tabs, it reduced Chrome's memory usage by ~60%.
The extension is free and open to feedback. Let me know if you have suggestions or find any issues!
