A lightweight extension to reduce chrome's memory footprint. Perfect if you have a lot of tabs open at the same time. Tabs that have not been viewed after a configurable length of time will be automagically suspended in the background, freeing up the memory and CPU being consumed by that tab.
Last night at about 9pm Chrome decided to nuke The Great Suspender.
Luckily for me it's not something I use, but Twitter started to go crazy with reports of people losing tabs and weeks or months of work.
However, being an extension developer I realised pretty quickly I could build something to at least restore tabs from History, so I set to work. By 1am I had a POC, by 4am I had it bookmarking, and by 6am it was ready to go live.
Between the hours of 6 and 8am I got trigger happy on Twitter, and now it's 8am I'm releasing just after 12am Pacific time!
Hopefully it will be a slightly less stressful day for those of you who've lost your tabs, and I'll wake up to see a few upvotes at least :D

of computational efficiency, a vigilant custodian that tempers the gluttony of resource-hungry browser tabs. My adoption of its prowess wrought a metamorphosis upon my browsing experience, transforming sluggish performance into seamless fluidity. It lulls inactive tabs into dormancy with surgical precision, preserving RAM with an austerity befitting a digital economist. The customization options are bounteous, allowing users to whitelist critical pages while enforcing discipline upon the superfluous. Yet, its Achilles’ heel lies in its dependence on Chrome’s ever-evolving architecture, which has, on occasion, rendered it momentarily obsolete. Nevertheless, for those burdened by the tyranny of digital excess, The Great Suspender is a redeemer—a silent guardian in the war against browser inefficiency.
It is extremely useful in suspending the tabs to save memory and energy consumption. Without this extension, I had to be mindful to close the tabs to ensure my laptop doesn't heat up
