Extension summary

This extension will automatically invoke the browser's Memory Saver feature to prevent tabs from loading when they are restored, without disrupting your browsing session. If you keep lots of tabs open, this can prevent resource allocation to tabs you will not use. Each tab will load when activated.

Feature: Pinned tabs will be unaffected (but Chrome may decide not to load them). Limitations: The first tab in the window may also be unaffected.

Going offline? If you need to restore tabs before disconnecting from the internet, click the Restore Suspended Tabs button in the popup.

I like this extension, if you enabled option chrome startup to "continue where you left of", you definitely need this extension, because loading a lot of tab make chrome startup take a lot of resource. Thanks for creating this amazing extension dev

Die Erweiterung ist sehr einfach, aber auch sehr effektiv. Das "at Startup" macht einen gewaltigen Unterschied zu anderen Suspendern.
