Automatically suspend (hibernate) inactive tabs to free up system resources
Tab Suspender extension automatically unload (kill/hibernate) inactive tabs. This action can free up your browser memory usage.
When there are too many open tabs, your browser needs to keep their data in memory; besides, background scripts are always running. Using this extension you can define a custom time-period for inactive tabs to go to hibernate state and hence do no use memory or any kind of resources at all.
Tab Suspender accepts following exceptions for your convenience:
1. Do not suspend pinned tabs
2. Do not suspend tabs that contain unsaved form inputs
3. Only auto-suspend if connected to the internet
4. Only auto-suspend if running on battery (if battery API is available)
5. Automatically unsuspend when tab gains focus
6. Open a new tab in suspend mode

- Roland Spencer
- Did a great job suspending tabs, but I could not unsuspend a single tab. Just did not work.
- Andrey Sidorov
- I had dozens of suspended tabs when tried to remove this extension from chrome. After removing extension it closed all of my suspended tabs and I can't restore any of them with "Reopen Closed Tab". Piece of garbage.

- Works nicely, thank you.
- Aume RRPMP
- As amazingly useful as always. My only point is that in firefox it is possible to suspend a tab with right click menu and in google it isn't, i find it less user friendly.
- Eshant Gupta
- great

- Excelente! Liviana. Más opciones. Cumple con lo que promete. Excellent! Light. More options. It fulfills what it promises.
- Liviu Rafael Nichiforiuc
- It would have 5 stars as far as settings and look goes, but i only give it 1 star because it did not suspend any pages at all when choosing to manually suspend on my Chrome. This defect for this extension makes it no good at all.

- Not working after last update. Just getting black screen instead of suspended tab page
- Doctor M.
- doesn't always work right
- James van der Hoven
- Great, until it started asking for permissions that clearly are not needed. Why would you need permission to change my bookmarks.
- Luiz Luz
- Uso em todos os meus computadores mas é realmente muito mais útil quanto maior for a limitação do seu equipamento. Conseguiu deixar o Chrome absurdamente leve num Core2Duo 1.6Ghz com apenas 2 GB de RAM (XUbuntu). Parabéns a equipe.

- It works. But the timer setting seems broken. Automatically suspend tabs after (in minutes):X minute doesn't seem to work properly I put 20 minutes, yet tabs get unloaded a lot sooner than that. When I just opened Chrome and waited for the initial page to load, the extension unloaded that tab/page. Did I used the setting properly?
