Unload Tab

very best

Doesnt work at all.

Unloading tabs should be in the Chrome browser by default! This extension just works flawlessly.

Really helpful for managing open browser tabs and freeing up resources (RAM and CPU), which can help speed up your computer and may even prolong your laptop’s battery life.

Had 11 tabs opened, RAM usage was around 2900Mb according to Win process manager. Unloaded 10 tabs and RAM usage went down to 900Mb. It just works.

Works perfectly. Shows you which tabs are loaded/unloaded, and lets you unload them individually or in batches. Very useful!

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

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
