Memory Saver is a Chrome extension designed to optimize your browser's memory usage by unloading inactive tabs from RAM. If you often have more than 20 tabs open, this extension helps reduce the heavy memory load by putting unused tabs to sleep, freeing up resources for smoother browsing. When you return to a sleeping tab, Memory Saver quickly recovers it, ensuring you don't lose your place or data.

This lightweight and user-friendly extension is ideal for users who multitask across numerous web pages but want to maintain Chrome's performance. By managing your browser's memory intelligently, Memory Saver improves your overall browsing experience and prevents slowdowns caused by excessive RAM consumption.

High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
