Auto Tab Discard — Free RAM From Forgotten Chrome Tabs

<p>Forty open tabs, an 8GB laptop, and Chrome eating memory for pages you last looked at three hours ago — then everything crawls.</p><p>Auto Tab Discard suspends inactive tabs after a timer you choose, freeing their memory while keeping the tab, its title and its position exactly where they were. Click it and the page reloads with your scroll position and form text intact. It skips pinned tabs, tabs playing audio, and anything with unsaved input.</p><p>Slept-on because it uses Chrome native discard API rather than the old Great Suspender hack, so nothing breaks if you uninstall it. Free, 4.1 stars across 382 ratings, 200,000+ users, and a Chrome Web Store Featured badge.</p>
