| 2025-01-03 |  | | en | Really helps speeding up but somehow the tabs tend to refresh automatically over a certain time period which interrupted the meetings, videos and events that take time even when I pinned the tabs. Hope you can fix it soon. |
| 2023-10-21 |  | | en | Request: exclude by domain feature would be nice to have |
| 2021-09-25 |  | | en | This is even better than what I was looking for, since I don't have to manually unload anything. Suggestion: Add exceptions by host, like do not park discord.com or web.telegram.com, etc. Sure I could just pin them, but then it would be a nice feature for those who heavily uses tab groups. For example, my tab group about communication has 5 different tabs, and I don't want any of them pinned. |
| 2021-02-27 |  | | en | Simple and effective. |
| 2019-09-25 |  | | en | There is a serous bug with the idle time detection. |
| 2019-11-07 |  | | en | I LOST ALL MY TABS: I am a workona user. I don't know if it's attributable to this but I see all my tabs but when I click on them, or even click GO BACK, nothing happens. I have the feeling I lost all my tabs in this current Workona folder! I had the feeling they might be incompatible! BEWARE! |
| 2019-09-05 |  | | en | To the developers I say you did a great job! This app was extremely helpful to speed up my browsing experience. I would absolutely give it five stars except for one thing. The only way to make an exception to a tab is to pin it. I would like to see another option such as right click so that you can cherry-pick which tabs you want to be exempt without having to pin it. I'm not a developer but this doesn't seem like so difficult. After that I think it deserves 5 stars! |
| 2018-11-21 |  | | en | This is a bit of a spyware as the so called "memory save" pings a google cloud server ( see https://github.com/glukki/TabMemFree/blob/master/background.js#L22 ) |
| 2017-12-06 |  | | ru | После выхода компьютера из Сна, оперативной памяти нет совсем, буквально 1-4 мб, всё зависает. Приходится убивать хром. Далее запускаю Хром, нажимаю "Восстановить", вкладки возвращаются, но половина не открывается. Кнопка Go Back не работает! НАФИГ! удалил и не советую никому |
| 2017-10-09 |  | | en | After installing it I get a "back" button that does nothing, and re-loading the tab after closing (to try again) results in a url sayin https://tabmemfree.appspot.com/blank.html#title= DON'T INSTALL THIS! I wish I never did. |
