Lower RAM and CPU load by unloading idle tabs

Latest reviews

• (2023-10-21) Elvin Agha: Request: exclude by domain feature would be nice to have
• (2021-09-25) Lucas C. Flores: This is even better than what I was looking for, since I don't have to manually unload anything. Suggestion: Add exceptions by host, like do not park discord.com or web.telegram.com, etc. Sure I could just pin them, but then it would be a nice feature for those who heavily uses tab groups. For example, my tab group about communication has 5 different tabs, and I don't want any of them pinned.
• (2021-02-27) Bhaskarjyoti Gogoi: Simple and effective.
• (2020-11-03) Hector Palacios Verdes: It just works. Just be careful of not leaving work half done in tabs, as the default is to park it in 15m. You can make it two hours and it would help you anyway.
• (2020-02-21) Joshua Lai: There is a serous bug with the idle time detection.
• (2019-11-07) Pierre Marchessault L.: I LOST ALL MY TABS: I am a workona user. I don't know if it's attributable to this but I see all my tabs but when I click on them, or even click GO BACK, nothing happens. I have the feeling I lost all my tabs in this current Workona folder! I had the feeling they might be incompatible! BEWARE!
• (2019-09-05) James Kelly: To the developers I say you did a great job! This app was extremely helpful to speed up my browsing experience. I would absolutely give it five stars except for one thing. The only way to make an exception to a tab is to pin it.  I would like to see another option such as right click so that you can cherry-pick which tabs you want to be exempt without having to pin it. I'm not a developer but this doesn't seem like so difficult. After that I think it deserves 5 stars!
• (2018-11-21) David Roussel: This is a bit of a spyware as the so called "memory save" pings a google cloud server ( see https://github.com/glukki/TabMemFree/blob/master/background.js#L22 )
• (2017-12-06) Дмитрий Першин: После выхода компьютера из Сна, оперативной памяти нет совсем, буквально 1-4 мб, всё зависает. Приходится убивать хром. Далее запускаю Хром, нажимаю "Восстановить", вкладки возвращаются, но половина не открывается. Кнопка Go Back не работает! НАФИГ! удалил и не советую никому
• (2017-10-09) beanarts design: After installing it I get a "back" button that does nothing, and re-loading the tab after closing (to try again) results in a url sayin https://tabmemfree.appspot.com/blank.html#title= DON'T INSTALL THIS! I wish I never did.
• (2017-04-27) Kenneth Thomas: Has a tendency to crap out and destroy all your tabs. Bad. Nice when it works, but when it takes hours to re-find information it has destroyed, it's not worth it.
• (2017-04-11) عبدالله بن تركي: ok
• (2016-12-14) G Svetlana: Спасибо! Очень полезное расширение!
• (2016-12-01) WildDRON: Крайне рекомендую автору сменить в "Go Back" javascript:history.back(); на прямую ссылку на страницу, на которой до этого находился пользователь, т.к. иногда браузер крашится и при восстановлении вкладок javascript:history.back(); не переводит никуда, т.к. в истории просто ничего нет, соотвественно переходить "назад" некуда.
• (2015-11-18) Oleksa. ZU: Просто выключает не используемые вкладки. И всЁ! Есть более продвинутые расширения.
• (2015-11-03) Corina Dragomir: No problem whatsoever, it parks unpinned tabs, uses minimal or no memory for them and it reloads them when you click. It made Chrome faster for me.
• (2015-06-29) No Hay Trato: no funciona.
• (2015-06-09) Higo Moccos: タブを指定した時間開いているとブランクページに切り替えてメモリ消費を軽減する仕組み。機能的にはメモリ消費も軽減されるし便利なのだがブランクページから元のページに戻れなくなることがあるので★3評価。Sleipnir4にて使用。
• (2015-05-03) Elliot Sloane: Really frustrating. Sometimes ALL of the parked tabs cannot be reloaded. The javascript that calls history seems to fail. HORRIBLE loss of weeks of work due to this instability. Not sure if this is an artifact of co-existence with Session Buddy, but even if it is, the result is unacceptable.
• (2015-05-02) Marco Pinto: se ve buena...claro que no se cuando esta on y cuando en off
• (2015-02-24) Vladimir Ryabtsev: Whitelist is absolutely necessary. "Exclude pinned tabs" is not enough.
• (2015-01-24) Justin Mitchell: It's great, BUT, it changes the URL of the tab, which makes it incompatible with a lot of other extensions. Booo.
• (2014-12-17) Shrampy Shrimp: It often doesn't work! I have set the timeout limit as 15min., but I often find that it takes a lot longer for the app to make the tab stand by.
• (2014-12-12) Александр Хорошев: Не понятно как работать с исключениями. Даже в закрепленных вкладках, я хотел бы иметь возможность выбора выгружаемых. Слабые настройки.
• (2014-11-20) Osiris Magro: Great app. Hoping for tab whitelisting!
• (2014-06-25) 스님: That's great app in my chrome but Home computer's chrome does work buggy. - Chrome always refresh when tab was suspended by TabMemFree. - when use my chrome in work PC, tab restored when I click a suspended tab. - but when use my chrome in home, I clicked a suspended tab or not, it always refresh suspend tab. so, I use alternative extenstion and it works when setting local blank page. and, I suggest exception filter with user custom list (regex, etc.)
• (2013-12-23) Galen Giese: annoying
• (2013-12-09) Meko Amore: Could be JUST what chrome needs.. and the developer has heard over and over what changes need to be done.. so what's the problem exactly? Still helps out a lot though.
• (2013-11-11) Chris Chen: It worked well until last week,now all opened pages will turn to "404" after several minutes,I know it may not the extension's fault 'cause I'm in China...I have to disable it.
• (2013-11-09) John Schmitt: I'm so angry at this extension. I lost my long list of tabs and my history now shows only an obfuscated list of links to appspot. I cannot recommend this to anyone.

• (2021-10-30, v:0.3.1) Di S: Улучшение
  Виталий здравствуйте. Не могли бы вы уменьшить минимальный интервал с 15 до 5 минут. Ещё неплохо былоб функцию как выгружать вкладки при старте браузера, цены бы не было, и расширение бы заменило все остальные подобные. Спасибо.

• (2017-08-28, v:0.1.3.2) Richard Pinka: not working
  I cannot recover my tabs (over 100 !!) I regret i ever installed TabMemFree on my chrome.
• (2017-04-27, v:0.1.3.2) Kenneth Thomas: Data destructive, needs fix or removal
  As another review says: Upon deleting the browsing history, Chrome keeps the open tabs (desirable) and clears their history. In the current implementation therefore tabs are lost if they are suspended by TabMemFree.< ... This extension needs to be fixed or removed from the store.
• (2017-03-15, v:0.1.3.2) Klaus: Encode URL in suspended tab to prevent data loss by clearing browsing history
  Upon deleting the browsing history, Chrome keeps the open tabs (desirable) and clears their history. In the current implementation therefore tabs are lost if they are suspended by TabMemFree. Similarly, sometimes issues arise when using a suspended tab on a synchronized device. This could be fixed, by storing the original URL along with icon and title, and using it if history is not available ("history.length == 1"). Since the #-part isn't transmitted to the server (?), it also shouldn't consitute a privacy issue.
