Too many tabs open? Is your computer slowing down and the battery draining in a flash? Tabs to Nap is the solution!
Tabs to Nap is a lightweight, open-source extension designed to free up your computer's RAM. It puts the tabs you aren't using to "nap," replacing them with a
minimal, clean waiting page. When you need a tab again, just one click or a press of the 'R' key will restore it instantly. It's fast and feather-light.

Privacy and Transparency
Your privacy is our top priority. Well, maybe not the absolute top, but it's important. We want to be completely transparent about the permissions the
extension requests and why they are necessary:
* `tabs`: To be able to suspend and restore your tabs.
* `storage`: To save your personal settings (suspension time and whitelist) only on your computer.
* `alarms`: To make the automatic suspension timer work.
* `contextMenus`: To display the extension's options in the right-click menu.
* `host_permissions`: To allow the extension to run on any page you visit.
Tabs to Nap does not collect, store, or send any personal or browsing data to external servers. All your information and settings are stored exclusively on
your computer.
