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 Discard (Suspender)
Easily suspend inactive tabs and save up memory for your browser. Tab Discard (Suspender) is an extension that lets you easily suspend either all inactive tabs or just the active tab by clicking on the toolbar button. In principle, suspending tabs can reduce the browser memory and enhances your browsing experience. When you click on a suspended tab (make it active) it will be loaded with the previous content automatically. This addon is useful when you have several open tabs, you can suspend them all (free up the memory) with just one click and then visit them one-by-one to unsuspend. This way, your browser will use the least amount of memory and have a better performance. Please right-click on the toolbar button and then select the desired option for suspending tabs (i.e. active or inactive tabs). To report bugs, please visit the addon's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/tab-discard.html) and fill the bug report form.
