Unload / suspend / hibernate idle tabs to reduce memory and cpu usage.

Tiny Suspender

Are you tired of Chrome slowing down due to too many open tabs? Tiny Suspender is the perfect solution to enhance your browsing experience by automatically suspending idle tabs, freeing up valuable CPU and memory resources. With customizable settings, you can choose how long to wait before a tab is suspended and conveniently whitelist specific sites to keep them active.

Key Features:

Form Detection: Avoid suspending tabs with active forms.
Audio Detection: Keep music playing by preventing autosuspension on audio tabs.
Snooze Option: Temporarily disable autosuspension for specific tabs or domains.
Keyboard Shortcuts: Suspend tabs directly from your keyboard, enhancing convenience.
Dark Mode: Optionally switch to a dark theme for better aesthetics.

Plus, you can integrate Chrome's native tab discard feature for even more resource savings. Join our community on GitHub for feedback and updates!

Work as described. It would be great if the extension shows website screenshot instead of blank background. That's all I asked for. Meanwhile it will be the suspender to use until "Tab Suspender" support latest v3 coding.

great tool , the only problem i have is icon color when is green i can see it but when it's gray i need to look for it , since i'm using dark mode them.

As of now - the most adeqate v3 replacement for "the great/marvellous suspender". Still wondering though if it possidle to use native chrome discarding on tabs discarded by this extension.
