Summary

Tab Suspender is a fork of the now delisted "The Great Suspender" without the new malicious code. For people who find that chrome is consuming too much system resource or suffer from frequent chrome crashing. Once installed and enabled, this extension will automatically suspend tabs that have not been used for a while, freeing up memory and cpu that the tab was consuming.
