What is Tab Suspender?
Tab Suspender automatically suspends tabs you have not used for a while, so they stop using memory and CPU. Suspended tabs stay in your tab bar and reload instantly when you click them, which keeps Chrome fast even with dozens of tabs open.
You choose how long a tab must be idle before it is suspended, and you can whitelist sites that should never sleep, such as music players or chat apps. An optional auto-close feature can keep your tab count under a limit.
