**Tab Memory Saver – Keep Your Browser Fast & Responsive**
Tired of your browser slowing down with too many tabs open? **Tab Memory Saver** helps you reclaim memory and improve performance by automatically discarding inactive tabs — without losing your work.
**Features**
* **Custom Discard Timer** – Choose how long a tab must be inactive (e.g., 1, 5, 10 minutes) before it’s discarded.
* **Visual Status Icons** – See at a glance which tabs are being monitored (green icon) and which are about to be discarded (grey icon).
* **Per-Tab Protection** – Right-click any tab to protect it from being discarded. Protected tabs stay active and never show an icon.
* **Lightweight & Private** – All activity stays in your browser. No personal data is collected or sent anywhere.
* **Full User Control** – The extension does nothing until you enable it and accept the terms.
**Why Use Tab Memory Saver?**
* Reduce memory usage when working with many tabs.
* Speed up your browsing experience without closing tabs.
* Keep important tabs safe while freeing resources from the rest.
**Permissions Explained**

* `storage`: To save your settings locally.
* `contextMenus`: To add the “Protect/Unprotect Tab” option.
* `alarms`: To run the discard check periodically.
