If you are reading this article, can you please take a second and count the number of tabs that you have currently as opened?
If you are like me, chances are that this number should be greater than 5.
All these tabs can be a bit distracting, since you may consider opening them up and checking them from time to time even if you do not need to do that.
Moreover, all these tabs can consume RAM in your computer.
I have already written an article about a Chrome extension that sort of disables tabs that have been inactive for a while.
“The Great Suspender” app was disabled by Chrome a couple of weeks ago and many of us may have not been able to figure that that was the case. At least, I only learned it weeks after it actually happened, as I was seeing Chrome using a lot more RAM than before.
Then I found an extension, which is open source.
This browser extension uses the native tab discard method (chrome.tabs.discard).
It works for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Opera.
I have already started using it and I am quite satisfied with its results.
I hope you find this useful.
