Lightweight tab management

Description from store

Tabsleeper lets you sleep Chrome windows and tabs, putting them somewhere safe and closing the window. When you’re ready, you can wake them and pick up exactly where you left off.

It will ease the load on your computer, saving battery, and making it faster overall. You can manage different sessions, keeping your browsing tidy and organised. Plus, everything is saved locally so it’s private.

Never again get frustrated by tab overload. Sleep it away and you can always come back to it later. Or not.

Unfortunately, it has one serious drawback. From time to time, all saved bookmarks are deleted for unknown reasons. Fortunately, you can export them and then load them from a file, because otherwise addon would be simply unusable.

1. Can't get this to sleep a tab. It sleeps entire windows. 2. Cannot find a way to reopen the window I just slept, thinking I was sleeping a tab. There's a button that looks like it's supposed to re-open the window, but it doesn't work.

Click on Sleep tab crashes the whole Chrome window.

As of 2016-09-11, this extension works as claimed with no side effects. The use case is to "sleep" tabs one windowful at a time, with the ability to bring them back quickly whether you're currently online or not. While they're asleep, the tabs don't consume any computational resources aside from the necessary disk space. This is useful if you're in a situation where your open Chrome windows slow down your computer. I have independently reviewed this extension's code and haven't seen any surprising or malicious things.
