Auto Tab Discard is a lightweight extension that automatically reduces Chrome’s memory usage by discarding inactive tabs — safely and transparently. It uses Chrome’s native tab discarding API, so your tab state is preserved and instantly restored when you return. No hacks, no session loss, no tracking. Native & reliable: Built on Chrome’s discard API for speed and stability. Preserves flow: Keeps your tab groups and window layout intact. Privacy-first: No analytics, no external servers. Settings sync across your devices via Chrome Sync. One-click control: Discard current/all tabs or release all discarded tabs from the popup. Visual indicator: Optional badge on discarded tabs for quick scanning. When a tab has been inactive longer than your configured timer, the extension asks Chrome to discard it. Discarded tabs keep their title and position, but free most memory. Clicking the tab reloads it instantly with its previous state. Settings are stored locally (and optionally synced via Chrome Sync).
Auto Tab Discard (suspend)
Increase browser speed and reduce memory load when you have numerous open tabs. "Auto Tab Discard" is a lightweight browser extension that automatically reduces the amount of memory used by open but inactive tabs, helping to conserve battery life on portable devices by disabling JavaScript code and DOM events on discarded tabs. There are two options on the extension's interface to either discard tabs or release discarding (the "x" buttons) The features of "Auto Tab Discard" are: * Improves browser performance and reduces memory usage by automatically or manually discarding inactive, idle, or forgotten tabs. * Includes a list of hostnames or regular expressions that can be excluded from auto-discarding. * Preserves the discarded state of tabs when the browser is closed and reopened. * Indicates the discarded state of a tab through the favicon or title. * Restores the state of a tab, including scroll position and text box content, after it is released from being discarded. * Allows for the forced discarding of specified hostnames. The options for configuring whether tabs should be discarded or not include: * Pinned tabs * Tabs that are playing media * The presence of a power source * Unsaved content or user input in a tab The available plugins for "Auto Tab Discard" are: * Release the discarded state of the next or previous tab. * Release the discarded state of all tabs in the active window. * Automatically discard all newly opened inactive tabs. * Store YouTube's timestamp before a tab is discarded. * Permanently delete (remove) old discarded tabs that are inactive. * Unlike the "The Great Suspender" extension, this extension uses the native method for discarding tabs, which means that even if the extension is removed or the browser crashes, your browser will automatically restore everything for you. https://webextension.org/privacy-policy/extension/tab-discard.html
Tab Defenders
Worried that background tabs are eating up precious RAM? Tab Defenders is a memory manager for Chrome that automatically shuts down inactive tabs and frees up precious memory so that your system remains speedy and responsive! MODE 1: CLOSE TABS AFTER SPECIFIED DURATION You can specify a duration (in minutes) after which any background tab (i.e. a tab that hasn't been visted) will be shut down and its URL saved to storage. This mode is great if you wish to periodically clean Chrome tabs while ensuring that they are always available for recovery if needed. MODE 2: CLOSE TABS USING LEARNT PATTERNS The second mode of operation automatically learns your usage behaviors and shuts down tabs when it thinks that the chance of you returning to them is negligible. Tab Defender uses a state of the art statistical modelling module to track your domain-wise habits and automatically clean tabs in the background. RECOVERING CLOSED TABS If a tab was accidently closed by the extension and you wish to recover it, use the 'View Complete History' option under the 'History' tab to see closed tabs and recover them with the click of a button. WHITELISTING DOMAINS If there are some domains whose tabs you do not want to be automatically closed, you can add them to the whitelist directly from the extension. THEMES The extension offers a modern UI theme (default) as well as a more retro look. You can switch between the two by clicking the 'Tab Defenders' button in the extension popup. Please close and re-open the popup to see your changes in action. About the Developers This extension was developed by Aman Ladia, Jean Laguerre, Anthony Mensah, William Lam and Hung Bui of Stanford University.
Auto Tab Mute
Extension to automatically mute background tabs if the current tab is playing audio. This allows for fast switching between different audio playing tabs without manually muting and unmuting. This extension can be toggled on/off by a button added to the browser interface or by a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+U/Cmd+Shift+U).
