Description from store
Lightweight extension that reduces Chrome's memory usage by putting inactive tabs to sleep.
Using Chrome's built in tab discarding feature, when a tab is inactive or system memory critically low, the extension discards the background tabs freeing up memory.
Once you switch the focus to the sleeping tab, it gets automatically reloaded. Tabs playing audio or video won't be put to sleep.
=== Main Features===
Tabs are put to sleep when not in use for 10 minutes (the interval can be customized in the settings).
Tabs are put to sleep when system memory is low. The extension will set a default low memory threshold depending by the total amount of system memory. This value can be customized.
The extension will periodically check the amount of free system memory. This interval is set by default to 5 minutes and can be customized.
========================= CHANGE LOG =============================
v.1.6 : support for V3 manifest and small bug fixes

- (2023-09-01) Rant: I'm using windows 7 still, and i just love the old comodo dragon because of its lite use of memory even when opening many tabs in Youtube. (i've open at least 10 tabs of Youtube and less than 1GD ram usage). with this memory saver, i realized when you try opening another link to a new tab, the tab goes blank. Maybe the developer can do something about it? i know and understand its old and outdated versions i'm using if they are not willing. Seems to help a bit with the memory i would think this extension.
- (2023-07-09) Tête à-tête: I'm used to 'freemem' for mac, which can be configured. I installed memory saver to an 8-gig dell vostro and, it needs no configuration. I immediately saved 1.1Gb and swap activity dropped, and levelled off. Excellent!
- (2023-05-08) SenusSuns (Hydracoil): Useless extension. I had tabs I didn't want to snooze and I installed this thinking I could customize it but instead all it did was snooze all my tabs and ruined everything. DO NOT INSTALL!
- (2023-01-07) Meghan and Tyler Meszaros: Although this app used to be necessary, Chrome now has this feature built in. Go to settings and then performance.
- (2022-05-01) Ryan Chang: When opening a website in a new tab by clicking on a hyperlink with the middle mouse button or right click > open in new tab, an about:blank screen appears instead of the website.

- (2022-02-11) Mark Solomon: Does what it suppose to do but buggy. Breaks open in new tab. Seems inconsistent as to which tabs to discard.
- (2022-02-09) Kevin Pinel: Need it to leave pinned tabs alone. I think most of us pin tabs for a reason. Be nice to have a bit more configurability in it so that users can set exclusions if pinned tabs aren't going to be excluded
- (2021-12-19) Andrey: Очень хорошо! но очень н хватает списка исключний для страниц которым н нужно засыпать, например для web.whatsapp.com итп
- (2021-09-13) Jose Leal: Good extension, however, its taking control of opening a tab with ctrl. It opens an empty tab
- (2020-12-18) Maria Tassone: Great extension!
