What is The Great Suspender?

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.

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
