Extension summary

Fauxbar Memory Helper ensures Fauxbar (or Fauxbar Lite) keeps running smoothly.

If you usually have Chrome open for extended periods of time, Fauxbar's memory usage may start to get a little bit on the high side after a while.

To counter this, Fauxbar Memory Helper disables and re-enables Fauxbar (or Fauxbar Lite) when your computer has been idle for 10 minutes, effectively resetting Fauxbar's memory usage. But this only occurs when no Fauxbar tabs are open, meaning your Fauxbar experience does not get interrupted.

A great add-on for a great add-on. :)

Bei mir wird Fauxbar im geöffneten Zustand deaktiviert und die normale Chrome-New-Tab-Seite angezeigt. Dann muss ich den Fauxbar oder den Home-Button drücken. ~~~~~ On my PC this extension disables the fauxbar page during it's opened and shows the regular new-tab-page. Then i have to click the fauxbar-button or the home-button to see fauxbar again.
