FEATURES
Save memory
Dramatically reduce memory usage and keep your computer running quickly, just by adding the Workona Tab Suspender. Suspended tabs are just like normal tabs, except they don’t use memory.
Keep more tabs open
Tabs are where modern work gets done. Now you can work on multiple projects and keep those tabs open, all without impacting the performance of your computer.
Auto-suspend tabs
Choose automatic tab suspension based on how many active tabs you have or how much time has elapsed. You can rest easy knowing that suspension is working behind the scenes to free up resources.
Never lose tabs
Unlike other tab suspenders, you never have to worry about being locked into our system or losing your suspended tabs if you decide to stop using the Workona Tab Suspender.

- It's cool, I like the "suspend all other tabs" button, for when I need to free up some RAM for another app, but still interact with just one site.

- Great! But have some flaws… ⌨️ No Keyboard Shortcuts The biggest drawback: there are no hotkeys to manually suspend or unsuspend tabs. This can be frustrating for power users who rely on keyboard workflows. You have to wait for auto-suspension or use the extension menu. 🛠 No Manual Control via Context Menu Unlike some competitors (like Auto Tab Discard), you can’t right-click a tab to manually suspend or restore it. The lack of manual controls makes it a little too “hands-off” at times. 🔄 Occasional Loss of Tab State This is more of a browser limitation than a Workona flaw — but some websites don’t preserve their state after being suspended (e.g., text in unsaved forms). A warning system before suspending such tabs would be nice.

- Cannot even see the settings without signing up... Not ready to share my email for a sus extension in my browser.

- Amazing app! Probably the best so far I found to organize my life! Would love to see an option to be able to set some emojis for sections naming 🥹
- Oleksandr Serhiienko
- Great service with a paid plan! Significantly helps to be organised and more focused. Free plan is useless as 2 resource sections are allowed in a space, which is completely not enough.
- Kiel Enrique
- Works as intended. A must have extension. Kudos!
- Naoko A
- requires you to sign up to their websit
- Nathaniel Lee
- Works, but uses vast amounts of resources without being able to accurately see in Task Manager. Whole system is lagging with all software having problems. Removed and problem disappears.

- extension doesnt work without an account, you cannot access any settings or use the extension in general without an account with workona. disgusting practice.

- it's making my chrome force close after some time.

- why the hell do I need an account for this???? **** off
- Master Vegito
- Crashed and now most of tabs show about:blank. But I found out it's due to adguard. already made a bug report on their github. If you disable adguard, then workona, but then reenable onlyworkona, sites will return.
- Israel Solano
- So many problems and missing helpful features. You can't select multiple tabs and suspend them at the same time. There's no way to create convenient shortcuts, the only existing one opening the extension menu(useless). You should be able to create shortcuts for suspend current tab, suspend selected tabs, unsuspend, etc. Also when a tab is suspended, you can't get a link to the suspended page, you just have to unsuspend it. This seems minor but I used that all the time on Great Suspender when I wanted to copy and share a page but didn't want to reopen it. j There's also a blinding flash when you go to a suspended page at first before it becomes the proper dark mode. If they address some of these things I'll update my review.
- Jason Brown
- Need to create an account to use an offline extension, absolute joke and incredibly suspicious. Uninstalled immediately
- Fake Tsundere
- Need to create an account to be able to use it. For some reason it appears to check every single tab I have opened every once in a while. If I am alt tabbed into another program when this happen it has a high chance to crash my chrome. The more tabs I have opened the more likely it is to crash when it happens. As someone who often has a lot of tabs open I've had my chrome crash way too many times. Uninstalling. If I don't have a lot of tabs open then there are no issues with this extension other than having to create an account.
- Mike Kober
- Sorry, but when I need to login. I don't like it already, it's just an extension. 2nd when I press the icon and i takes like 2 seconds to react (m1 max w. 64 GB of RAM) it feels wrong.

- We can highly recommend . Huge robust of daily browsers usage . Now My workplace looks highly more organizeful . When We'll be ready - I considering to buy lifetime licence with monthly payment .
- Fritz Eichelberger
- Easy to install and set up profile. I've installed the extension. I'm on a browser page I use all day long and click on Suspend All Tabs on the Workona extension. I see a pop-up telling all tabs are suspended and I've saved 900 MB etc. When I look at the other tabs, they seem open to me. I'm new to this product since The Great Suspender was suddenly suspended.
- Majid Aziz
- Dont know why it had to ask for login, my gmail. Seems like alot of information being collected for data tracking. Other suspenders have never asked for my logins. Dont even know how to go and remove my information from there

- competent alternative of The Great Suspender
- 偷尼（偷尼 Tony）
- Can you add a shortcut key to quickly toggle the status of a tab? For example, pressing it once would "suspend" the tab, and pressing it again would resume it.
- Jacquelin V
- There's no option for auto un-suspending multiple tabs? It works great for suspending mass tabs but was annoying to have to unsuspend them. Also think it's weird that I have to create an account first to use the extension.

- Miles Mitchell
- Great tab suspender - probably the best one available considering the others are flagged by Chrome now - BUT it doesn't suspend grouped tabs, which is a big miss I think.

- when you casually have about 100 tabs organizing them helps a lot
- Esa Edvik
- Requires a Workona account to work at all, why on earth? This also isn't mentioned anywhere in the description. Come on, do better.
