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.

- (2025-06-24) Eshaan: The only one that seems to do wht it says
- (2025-06-23) Sava Kovalenko: Cannot even see the settings without signing up... Not ready to share my email for a sus extension in my browser.
- (2025-06-23) Timothee Mercier: 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 🥹
- (2025-06-14) 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.
- (2025-06-14) Kiel Enrique: Works as intended. A must have extension. Kudos!
- (2025-05-30) Naoko A: requires you to sign up to their websit
- (2025-05-27) 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.
- (2025-05-07) Prove: extension doesnt work without an account, you cannot access any settings or use the extension in general without an account with workona. disgusting practice.
- (2025-04-21) somchaiatbangkok: part of my daily browser use NOW thx. ;-)
- (2025-04-08) Joshua Wong: it's making my chrome force close after some time.
- (2025-04-04) Richard Bottom: why the hell do I need an account for this???? **** off
- (2025-03-31) 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.
- (2025-03-31) 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.
- (2025-03-30) Jason Brown: Need to create an account to use an offline extension, absolute joke and incredibly suspicious. Uninstalled immediately
- (2025-03-27) 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.
- (2025-03-20) 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.
- (2025-03-12) Archangel Michael_BasaroS: 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 .
- (2025-03-06) 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.
- (2025-03-06) 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
- (2025-03-05) Carl J: competent alternative of The Great Suspender
- (2025-03-04) 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.
- (2025-02-28) 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.
- (2025-02-24) Sh: why does an 'offline' extension need an account?
- (2025-02-22) Issachar Lee (RGB 山洞原人的玩物): Required to create account? NO WAY.
- (2025-02-04) Christian Seyboth: nice!
- (2025-01-23) Sreekaran Srinath: why does it require signup?
- (2025-01-22) ِAbdulhamid Otantik: why would a tab suspender require signing up for an an account?
- (2024-12-29) muhammad yaser ammar: must create an account with them
- (2024-12-26) Berni Y. H.: Lots of suspended pages were gone/dissappear, cannot be retrieve.

- (2024-10-09) jk: why would a tab suspender require signing up for an an account? sus.
- (2024-09-10) lytaiji Dai: Why a Tab Suspend plugin needs register a account? And it collects unnecessary privacy data.
- (2024-09-10) lytaiji Dai: Why a Tab Suspend plugin needs register a account? And it collects unnecessary privacy data.
- (2024-09-06) Thomas: "Create a free account" just to use a tab suspender.
- (2024-08-07) 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.
- (2024-07-29) Allen Everett: This extension keeps logging out.
- (2024-07-18) Deathrape2001: $CAM!! NOT an extension = just a link 2 their bull$hit '$ign up 4 our account' krap = REMOVE THIS!
- (2024-06-25) Allen Mukhin: Doesn't sync anymore, just says "Syncing...".. Was working fine for 2 last years. Developers, HELP!.. :(
- (2024-06-02) Knapp Family: when you casually have about 100 tabs organizing them helps a lot
- (2024-06-01) 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.
- (2024-05-04) PetersWiseWords: Not worth it for individual users! Pushing your multiple extensions and not being upfront that you only have 5 free saved workspaces with your Tab Manager before having to pay is really sneaky and has put me in a difficult position for avoiding losing my tabs when trying to troubleshoot multiple issues with your extensions. I haven't been able to attempt fixing the issue of automatically suspending tabs after 5 minutes regardless of settings in Tab Suspender as I'm not a paid subscriber and have more than 5 windows of tabs open to save, and I didn't get an email reply from support about this problem. The tab groups in browser windows saved in a Workona workspace didn't take long to mess up so I have now decided to slog through saving all my tabs as browser bookmarks and making sure I'm not using your extension before uninstalling - there's no documentation of how to uninstall so who knows how you'd mess my tabs up! The one thing I like is how the Tab Suspender keeps the website icons making it easier to see at a glance your suspended tabs. If you fixed your extensions and were upfront about cost, I still wouldn't consider returning because making an account is silly if you only want to use the Tab Suspender. Best to rely on native browser tab suspension or other extensions. EDIT: I've found that keeping website icons is not unique to this extension.
- (2024-05-01) Alejandro Klever Clemente: Manage my different workflows during the days has never been easier. This is an excellent product.
- (2024-03-18) Tom Schi: Dangerous! ❯ 1. workona.com does not offer a tool to convert a suspendet URL back to the unsuspended URL. Therefore, it happens that YOU WILL LOSE your URLs. It happened to us. ❯ 2. This extension forces you to allow that the Website (not the extension!!) workona.com is able to see ALL YOUR Browser data. For sure, you do not want this: Workona.com can see everything you do on your Browser. Additionally, to just suspend Tabs, this extension does not need this permission at all.
- (2024-02-29) kerim şemsiyeci: easy to use good app sometimes makes the computer lag when I open too many tabs but that could be about my computer also overall great
