Tab Discard (Suspender)

Easily suspend inactive tabs and save up memory for your browser.
Tab Discard (Suspender) is a beneficial browser extension for Chrome users. It primarily suspends inactive web tabs or the currently active tab upon demand. Suspending tabs vastly reduces your browser's memory footprint and substantially enhances your browsing experience. Reactivating a suspended tab is as simple as clicking on it, and it automatically reloads with its previous content. This extension becomes more valuable when multiple tabs are open, as it allows you to suspend all tabs with a single click, reducing the memory usage and thereby improving browser performance.
