Buen ahorro de RAM

ENGLISH This extension, in theory, unloads all the tabs from memory except the one you have open, thus reducing RAM consumption. And it has the option to download (unload) tabs manually and to keep in memory those that you want to keep working in the background (e.g.: facebook, youtube). But in practice, it ends up downloading all the pages from RAM except the one you have open, which is of no use to those of us who multitask and want to listen to a YT video or a Spotify song while we read or manage other matters. The idea is good, but the extension doesn't work. SPANISH Esta extensión, en teoría, descarga de la memoria todas las pestañas excepto aquella que tienes abierta, reduciendo así el consumo de RAM. Y tiene la opción de descargar (unload) pestañas manualmente y de mantener en memoria aquellas que quieres mantener funcionando en 2º plano (ej: facebook, youtube). Pero en la práctica acaba descargando de la RAM todas las páginas excepto la que tienes abierta, con lo cual no nos sirve a las personas que somos multitarea y queremos escuchar un vídeo de YT o una canción de Spotify mientras leemos o gestioamos otros asuntos. La idea es buena, pero la extensión no funciona.

I don't see it being any faster. the white slide thingy moving makes it slower. if there are other things happening behind the scenes that make it faster, then make an option to keep those and add an option to remove the white thing
