Tab Suspender Pro - Save Memory & Speed Up Chrome

Save 4GB+ RAM instantly. Auto-suspend inactive tabs, free memory, speed up Chrome. The trusted open-source replacement for The Great Suspender same shortcuts, same workflow, zero data collection.

THE PROBLEM

Chrome wasn't built for 40+ tabs. Every open tab eats memory, drains battery, spins up fans, and slows your entire computer. Video calls stutter. Apps lag. Your laptop sounds like a jet engine. All because of background tabs you haven't looked at in hours.

THE SOLUTION Tab Suspender Pro automatically hibernates inactive tabs and returns that memory to your system. Instantly. No manual work. No complicated setup. Install it and forget it — your browser just works better.

WHY TAB SUSPENDER PRO?

In January 2021, The Great Suspender was removed from Chrome Web Store after being flagged for malware. Millions of users lost their favorite extension overnight.

Tab Suspender Pro was built as the trustworthy replacement: → Same keyboard shortcuts you already know → Same workflow you relied on → Zero compromise on privacy → 100% open source — audit the code yourself

HOW IT WORKS

Set your timeout (5 minutes to 24 hours) Inactive tabs get suspended automatically Memory freed instantly Click any suspended tab to restore in milliseconds Your scroll position, form data, and session stay intact

That's it. No accounts. No configuration. No learning curve.

SMART PROTECTION Tab Suspender Pro knows what NOT to suspend: → Tabs playing audio or video → Active video calls (Meet, Zoom, Teams) → Tabs with unsaved form data → Your current active tab → Pinned tabs (optional) → Whitelisted sites (Gmail, Docs, Calendar, etc.) Your workflow stays protected. Background noise gets suspended.

KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS Alt+S → Suspend current tab Alt+Shift+S → Suspend all other tabs Alt+R → Restore all suspended tabs Alt+W → Whitelist current site

Power users rejoice. These are the same shortcuts from The Great Suspender.

POWER FEATURES Focus Mode One click suspends everything except your current tab. Deep work starts instantly. Tab Groups Suspend and restore entire project groups together. Context switching without the chaos. Session Snapshots Save your complete tab setup and restore it anytime. Perfect for switching between work modes. Memory Stats Track exactly how much RAM you've saved. Watch the numbers climb.
