What is Sleep Mode?
"Sleep Mode" is a Chrome extension designed to enhance the performance of your computer/laptop by temporarily putting all inactive tabs into sleep mode. This results in significant savings in RAM and battery power, besides speeding up your device. Crucially, it allows the current working tab to function normally without any interruptions. When you switch tabs, the 'sleeping' tab 'wakes up' instantly, while the previous tab goes into sleep mode. Also features settings to ignore pinned tabs, active audio playback tabs, Google Docs, Office Online tabs, and a customizable sleep timer. Useful context menu options include 'Ignore this tab (current session)' and 'Allow sleep this tab (current session)' for personalized control.
