AudioContext Suspender

Suspending AudioContext instances automatically

Features & Capabilities

The AudioContext Suspender Chrome extension enhances web audio performance by automatically suspending AudioContext instances that websites open without suspension. Many sites keep AudioContexts active unnecessarily, leading to higher CPU usage and increased energy consumption, which can cause bluetooth audio problems. This extension detects newly created AudioContexts and suspends them after 2 seconds of inactivity. It also resumes them for 2 seconds when it detects new audio playback requests, ensuring seamless sound experience. Users can disable the extension on specific websites by setting a localStorage flag for continuous or extended audio needs. This tool is perfect for users who want to optimize their device's battery life and reduce unnecessary CPU load during web browsing.
