The Great Suspender for Chrome helps you effectively curb system resource consumption by allowing the suspension of individual unused tabs.

Once you have The Great Suspender for Chrome installed and enabled, it automatically suspends the tabs that have not been used for a while, freeing up memory and CPU that those idle tabs were consuming.

It is an extremely lightweight extension that automatically unloads each tab while retaining its favicon and title text. A tab can be restored when needed simply by clicking anywhere on the page. This greatly reduces the number of dom elements on the page and ensures no memory leaks or excessive JavaScripts are running.
