Unload Tab

If only pinned tabs could be excluded from "all left"...

Juraj M. Developer Sep 26, 2025

UPDATE: Version 2.2 now has an Options page (chrome-extension://jacifdaceeamhebaonnnaangpkajehjb/options/options.html) where you can enable skipping pinned tab for each operation. And even define keyboard shortcut on: chrome://extensions/shortcuts // ---------------------------------- Hello, Interesting point, I guess I could add an option to skip pinned tabs. I'll see what I can do. Best Regards, Juraj Mäsiar

wow it have left and right options and suspend fast without any refresh. when i unload tabs and open new duplicate tab from unloaded it not recognize as duplicate anymore (by Duplicate Tab Closer) can do something with it? Maybe need add close duplicate option in your extension or use other close duplicate exension for fix it?

This should be a standard, built-in Chrome feature, so that no one would experience RAM issues anymore. Ah, Chrome...

Life saver. Unfortunately, Chrome still hasn't found a way to not be stupid and keep trying to load tabs you are not using at all, and this addon solves this problem with a simple click

Oh my gosh it works That worked ExsQUISITEly

Well made with no hiccups at all

turned all of my tabs in groups into about blank

Hello Dániel, It's highly unlikely my extension could do it. It's only using "discard" API, there is no URL modification. You should check one of your other extensions. Best Regards, Juraj Mäsiar

It does what is promises, and it does well. 10 out of 10.

Works well

Use Unload Tab to free up system memory that is currently allocated to browser tabs you aren't using. Excellent extension, just what I was looking for.
